Let’s take a look at Unit 3 in action:
Ch Digraph Words
Ch and th digraphs can be tricky for students to learn. Therefore, Unit 3 is packed with plenty of fun ways for students to practice, practice, practice!
Phonics Posters– Each unit comes ready with phonics posters that explain the new phonics skill! Hang these posters on your wall and add to them each new unit! Everyone will be amazed at what they learn as the units progress!
Segmenting and blending cards break up each phonics sound so students can isolate and blend new words!
Sound box cards- Add magnetic letters to form new words! You notice the the digraphs sounds are grouped as one box. This helps students understand and recognize that digraph is two letters that make one sound.
Spin and Build a Digraph Word! Ready2Read incorporates a lot of interactive learning…which most kids love! Just spin the spinner and add the ending sound. Read the new ch digraph word! Simple but highly effective!
Say and Sort! Say the name of the picture and sort to the correct column.
Simple Digraphs Sentences– Now students are moving onto some fluency activities while incorporating both phonics and sight words.
Beginning and Ending Digraphs– Visual images help solidify new phonics sounds. This fun and cute Ch sort had decodable letters that students can read based on pervious taught Ready2Read lessons.

Th Digraph
Th Digraphs are also introduced in this unit. Students will work with both beginning and ending th digraphs.
Th Song and Poster– also included to help retain their new phonics skill!
I like to keep learning fun and fresh by implementing some novelties. In the picture below, I used some colored sand and magnetic letters. Three ways of learning are used in this picture: 1. segment and blend cards 2. magnetic letters to build the new word 3. colored sand to write the word. All of these learning materials play an important role in synthesizing new phonics concepts.
Spin and Build a new word!

Sight Word Search– Each sight word will have their own word search with some sentence practice.
Go Fish for Sight Words– A quick game of Go Fish also helps make practicing those sight words FUN! Learning becomes a game!
