• Activity 2: Build It, Then Find It

    Before you read, pick one key, decodable word from the story (e.g., splash).

 

    1. Build it: Use letter magnets to build s-p-l-a-sh. Talk about the ‘spl’ blend and the ‘sh’ sound.

    2. Find it: Say, “We are going to be detectives and find this word in our story! Keep your eyes open for splash.”

    3. Celebrate: When you get to that page, let them “find” and read the word they already practiced.
