Spelling and Sound Recognition Activities

In this video tutorial, Rachel introduces children to graphemes and digraphs, explaining that a digraph is two letters making one sound. The lesson includes reading words with known graphemes, blending sounds to read words independently, and learning tricky words. The session concludes with a spelling practice, where children segment sounds to spell words. Throughout the video, Rachel encourages participation and reinforces learning with examples and repetition.
