My Relationship with others Activity Sheets
By Lara Hocheiser
Use these worksheets during your social-emotional learning instruction. These worksheets give children a space to reflect and journal about who they trust, who they would talk to in a time of need, and why. There is also space for children to draw.

It is important for your child to gain confidence when learning to read! They need to practice reading stories with the phonetic pattern they are learning! These decodable readers are perfect to work on sounds, reading digraphs, reading high-frequency words, and stories with digraphs. I have a scaffolded option that includes the sounds, words, and high-frequency words in isolation that they will see in the story! When they are done reading the story you can work on comprehension with a few quick questions about the story! Tip-you could have them highlight all of the words with digraphs in the passage and have them read those in isolation before reading the whole story!
Included:
5 digraph-specific passages (scaffolded and regular) (th, sh, ch, wh, ck)
5 mixed digraph passages (scaffolded and regular) (th, sh, ch, wh, ck)
*All of the words use a short vowel
Read and Spell Digraphs|Decoding and Orthographic Mapping
By K3 Homeschool Foundations
Reading and orthographic mapping (spelling) go hand in hand! If you want your students to master the ability to read phonetic patterns they need to read words with the pattern, identify meaning, and map the sounds via spelling! These sheets are perfect to practice this skill! This product includes words with th, sh, ch, wh, and ck. All of the words have short vowels so these are great for those kiddos that haven't mastered reading other vowel patterns! I have a page for each digraph and pages where the digraphs are mixed!
These are great to use in centers, interventions, or as practice after teaching a lesson working with each digraph! The best part-NO PREP! Print and get to work!

By K3 Homeschool Foundations
I love using this to support my early writers! I have laminated all of mine or you can simply put it in a sheet protector! Providing the letters on the page helps to differentiate it for students that need the support. This will help your students make sure they have all their sounds in their words!
