In unit three your child will learn to use common double consonant digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that combine to make one sound.

Lesson Activity Instructions

Each lesson has a fun activity to keep your kiddos playing while they read. These activities are designed to be fun for kids and easy for you. You won’t need to cut or laminate a thing. Just pull some fun toys or snacks out of the cupboard and start playing to read.

(Note: If you don’t have exactly what we used for our activity, you can easily substitute for something you do have on

hand. We’ll often offer suggestions to help with this.)
