AW Words Phonics Worksheets
When teaching AW words; show that AW is used at the end of a word not AU, since English words do not end in u.
Most ESL students will appreciate knowing for pronunciation that AW says the same sound as their "a", as in "Maria".
AW says the short vowel "o" sound:
- doll
- Paul
- shawl
Use your favorite phonics books for rules and syllabication, and then use these PDF worksheets for practice and review.
There is space on the second page for dictation and review of new words.
Print the K123 download two-up for middle school children to have smaller lines like handwriting worksheets. It looks like a lot less work to the kids and actually improves their penmanship.

AW Phonics And Phonemic Awareness Activities
Since AW often occurs at the end of a word it lends itself well to poetry and rhyming exercises.
I saw a pretty fawn
On our grassy lawn
In the morning dawn.
Teach your children to say the /aw/ sound while they write AW. It is a digraph, which means it has one sound made with two letters. Di- means two and –graph means write or written. This is one of the best phonics and phonemic awareness activities, writing the sound's letters while saying the sound.
Our AW words worksheets have two size levels, or you can print the first one two-up for older students to have a smaller size:
- Kindergarten AW Worksheets In Large Font - K-2, print 2-up for middle school.
- Third Grade AW Worksheets Small Font - Great size for grades 3-6.
Choose the size that works for your children. It's handy to have the different sizes to teach phonics to several ages of children.

Teaching Phonemic Awareness and Phonics
As you're teaching your children the phonogram AW, dictate these phonics words for your children to write. The main thing is to have practice writing the /AW/ sound "by ear". The AW worksheets above are a nice homework lesson for practice or review.
You can use the following simple sentences for dictation. Remember to teach the vocabulary of each word that you dictate.
