Let's solve this
"oa digraph worksheet" step by step.
---
🔍 What is a digraph?
A
digraph is a pair of letters that make one sound. In this case, the
"oa" digraph makes the long "o" sound (like in *boat* or *goat*).
We need to
sound out each word, look at the picture, and
fill in the missing letters so that the word includes the
"oa" digraph.
