 Reading/Phonics

This week we worked with partners to read new decodable books.  We focused on combining our Snap Word Power, Vowel Power and Sound Power to decode.  

We also are making little digraph books to practice reading those sounds.  Have your child practice reading them at home.  This week we worked with /th/ and /sh/ beginning and endings.

We have some new SNAP words this week:  day   play    say    for
