Build Reading Confidence

📚 Part 1: Warm Up and Word Sort

Directions: Take a breath, look at all the letters, and read each word from left to right. You can do it!

1. Which two chunks make the word sunset?

sun / set

su / nset

s / unset

2. Which word begins with the sound /ch/?

ship

chin

frog

3. Sort the words. A digraph has two letters that make one sound. A blend has two sounds that you can hear.

Words: ship   clap   frog   chin   drum   black

🔊 Digraphs: sh or ch

🔤 Blends: cl, fr, dr, or bl

Need support? Tap each sound, then blend the sounds together. Ready for more? Add one more word with a digraph.

✏️ Part 2: Decode, Draw, and Read with a Partner

4. Read this sentence. Then draw what you read.

The frog can hop on a log.

5. Read each word aloud. Put a check beside each word you can read.

sunset

picnic

brush

6. Partner challenge: Partner A reads the words. Partner B listens and gives one kind compliment. Then switch.

Words: black   chest   drum   splash

My partner said: “You read __________________________ clearly!”

7. Read the sentence smoothly. Circle the best reader goal.

Sam had a red crab.

I read every word and used a smooth voice.

I guessed without looking at the letters.

I stopped after every letter.

Need support? Cover all but one word at a time. Ready for more? Write a new sentence using splash.
