🎯 Part 2: Multisensory Learning Activities

1. Success Criteria: I can identify and pronounce all 8 digraphs correctly.

Basic Activity: Show the digraph card, have your child say the sound, then read the example words.

🧠 Dyslexia-Friendly Options:

• Use colored overlays or print on colored paper (cream, yellow, or light blue)

🌟 Extension Activities for Advanced Learners:

• Find 5 additional words for each digraph

• Write sentences using multiple digraph words

• Sort words by beginning, middle, or ending digraph placement

2. Differentiation Strategies:

Visual Learners: Focus on the visual cues and letter shapes

Auditory Learners: Emphasize the sounds and rhyming patterns

Kinesthetic Learners: Use hand motions and tracing activities

Beginning Readers: Start with 2-3 digraphs, add more gradually

Advanced Readers: Focus on spelling patterns and word origins
