Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Revise the lesson on prefixes.
- Through brainstorming have learners come up with as many words that belong to a particular digraph. Have learners identify these digraphs as they read.
- Have learners hunt for these words and build a portfolio on them. Ask learners to identify digraphs in simple sentences.
e. g. The girls shouted. (sh as in shout) Note: Common digraphs include ch, ck, gh, gr, sch, sc
- Learners form their own sentences using words with digraphs.
