Level 4 | All the Write Colors

All the Write Sounds

The reading program created for YOUR child!

A digraph is a combination of two letters that make a single sound, like "ch", "sh" or "th".

Steps to Success:

1. Parent: Watch this Level 4 Parent Video

2. Work on the activities included underneath this video until your child is comfortable reading and writing digraphs

Work on the activities below until your child can do the following with digraphs:

➔ Read the words using Sound Balls

➔ Write the words

➔ Sound check spelling using Sound Balls

Below are some fun activities to help get your child comfortable reading and writing digraphs:

Roll Play-Doh into small balls (These are your Sound Balls)
Choose a vowel card to place on the table or tray
Choose consonant cards to place on either side of the vowel card. Start with either a beginning digraph (like "ship") or an ending digraph (like "wish"). As your child gets comfortable with these words, you can progress to words with both beginning and ending digraphs, like "thick".
Place a Sound Ball below each sound - two letter cards that make one sound will only get one sound ball.
As you pronounce each sound, SMASH the Sound Ball for that sound!
Then, grab all the Sound Balls and SQUEEZE them together as you pronounce the word!
Replace the consonants to create a new word. When you're ready, replace the vowel with a new vowel card.
