We have continued to take a close look at digraphs in our reading and writing. We are finishing up the stage of noticing them around us in print. Today as we researched Caribou we took a moment to zero in on the "th" digraph in the text. We are also tracking words we read in books that have digraphs (th, sh, ch, wh). The kids are getting very quick at pointing out a digraph when they come across one. At home while reading books, looking at things online, looking at ads in the paper or anytime you are looking at print invite your child to search and find words with digraphs! Later this week we will move towards exploring making words with digraphs and paying close attention to when we write words with digraphs.
