Week 2:
Monday: Today we read Chimp and Chick's Lunch and talked about some of the new vocabulary from the story. You can have a look at the pictures below if you are still not sure about what some of the words from the story mean. We also talked about the difference between consonant blends and digraphs. Remember - with consonant blends you can hear two sounds - like in the word play. The consonant blend here is 'pl' and you can hear both letter sounds 'p' and 'l' when you read the word - play. But digraphs are different. There are two letters, but when you say them together, you can only hear one sound. For example, the word chimp. The letters 'c' and 'h' come together to make one sound - chimp.
