Every word has four sounds: a blend plus a digraph, with two letters standing for one sound, and is decodable with single letter-sounds, blends and the digraph. Digraphs are mixed on every page, including Trace and Blend, so each word is a fresh decision rather than a pattern to repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet 5 of 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set 5 is applied practice after the one-pattern-at-a-time work of Sets 1 to 4. The five sets follow the order of the 3-sound digraph range (ck and the doubled letters, then sh, ch, th and ng) and finish with a mixed review; use them in order or pick the set your class needs. They are the next step after the 3-sound Consonant Digraphs sets and the CCVC and CVCC blend sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour activities, one set of words\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same words are repeated across the four activities, which run from most to least supported, so you can use them in order or pick the one that suits each student or group.

A digraph is one grapheme for one phoneme, so it sits in one sound box and is said as one sound, in line with the NSW syllabus and current phonics guidance. In Trace and Blend, students read the letters and blend \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e they look at the picture; the picture confirms the word rather than giving it away.
