Are your students learning about digraphs? A digraph is two letters that make one sound. The fact that each letter doesn’t say a sound can be really confusing to students.

Here is a fun coloring activity you can do to help students work on digraphs! There are 9 pictures in this free printable. As students read each word, they … [Read more...]

CVC Fluency Strips

by Angela Thayer 5 Comments

Are you teaching students to read? One of the simplest ways to begin is with CVC words. CVC words are three-letter words that follow a consonant/vowel/consonant pattern. Some examples are the words ‘cat’, ‘hen’, and ‘sat’.  It's so exciting to watch students go from knowing letters and sounds to reading words! When students are ready to start developing their reading fluency, they start by reading short vowel words. This allows them to learn to see patterns in words and apply that skill to … [Read more...]

Digraph Flip Books

Beginning Blends Flip Books

by Angela Thayer 19 Comments

Learning to decode blends is an important step in learning to read. A blend is two consonants put together to make one sound. With blends, both letters keep their sound. For example, if you say the word drink you can clearly hear the beginning sounds of d and r. Blends can be found at the beginning or end of words. Blending is important because it helps students decode unfamiliar words using letter-sound patterns when reading. Today I'm sharing a printable to help children practice reading … [Read more...]
