Story time
Two letters, one sound
Lumi opened a giant book. “Sometimes two letters hold hands and make ONE sound — like sh in ship.”
Parent says
“We still sound out — we don’t guess from the picture. The picture helps us remember the meaning after we decode.”
Picture word wall
sh · th · ch — see & say
TAP ▶
sh

cheese
Letter sounds (separate): tap only when practicing the digraph sound.
Practice
Picture cards say the word only (ship / teeth / cheese). Digraph tiles below say the sound. Build ship / thin / chip with letter tiles. Picture = meaning check AFTER decoding.
♥ Heart & Hive
Brave try energy
Hard words feel scary. Lumi says: “Take a breath. Try the sounds. Mistakes are practice.”
EQ
Name the feeling: frustrated or nervous. Practice calm breath (smell the flower, blow the candle). Then try one more word.
