Meet the Phonics: Fun Stories and Learning

The Red Bug

Once upon a time, there was a red bug. This bug was very fat because it loved to eat. After it ate, it felt happy and said, “I did it! Yay!”

The Happy Doll

There were some dolls who loved to bake cakes. One doll could sit and hide. She always had a big smile on her face. She was in a box with a note that said she was cute and fun. She was very happy and said, “I did it! Yay!”

The Scarecrow

There was a scarecrow with a shirt that was worn out and a skirt that was torn. A fork was stuck in the dirt nearby. A little bird came and sat on the scarecrow’s arm. The scarecrow felt happy and said, “I did it! Yay!”

Learning Phonics with Digraphs

Hey there! Let’s learn about digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that make one sound, like “ch” in “chocolate” or “sh” in “shoe.” Phonics is fun because it helps us read words. When you see a new word, try to sound it out. You can even write a note to a friend and ask them questions. Look for digraphs in your books. It’s like a treasure hunt!

Practicing with Blends

Now, let’s meet the blends! Blends are two letters that work together, like “bl” in “blue” or “st” in “star.” To get better at reading, practice your blends. You can make a club with your friends to swap books and spell words together. You can also make crafts, cook, and have snacks. Ask questions and take time to think. It’s fun to learn with friends!

Time to Go!

When it’s time to go, grab your scarf and hat. Jump from your stool and leap over the mat. Learning is an adventure, and you did a great job! The end.

  • What is your favorite story from the ones we read, and why do you like it? Can you think of a time when you felt happy like the characters?
  • Have you ever noticed digraphs or blends in words around you, like in your favorite books or signs? Can you share some examples?
  • If you could create a new story with a character who learns something new, what would it be about? What would the character say when they succeed?
  1. Digraph and Blend Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for items that have digraphs or blends in their names. For example, find a “chair” for the “ch” digraph or a “plant” for the “pl” blend. Write down the words you find and share them with your friends. How many can you find?

  2. Create a Storybook: Use your imagination to create a short story using words with digraphs and blends. Draw pictures to go along with your story. Share your story with the class or your family. Can you make your story funny or adventurous?

  3. Sound Detective: Listen carefully to the sounds around you. Can you hear any digraphs or blends in the words people say? Try to write down the words you hear. For example, if someone says “shopping,” you can note the “sh” sound. Discuss with a friend or teacher what you discovered!

Hey, meet the digraphs! Phonics is fun when you know how to read words. Wherever you go, you can read words like “new,” “catch,” and “shout.” If you work through them by sounding them out, ask a friend questions by writing a note, then check her answer to see what she wrote. Watch for digraphs when you read a book. It is easy to find them; you just have to look. The end. [Music]
