The H Brothers Posters & Story
Help teach children about the common digraphs sh, ch, wh, th by using characters known as the "H Brothers". I couldn't find a good set, so I drew my own and adapted a story to go along with it. It's a little different than the usual, but the children love it!
The document includes images of my original posters that can be made smaller or larger depending upon your need. I set MS Word for legal sized paper. Enjoy!

Short Story Revision Checklist
As students wrap up their narrative writing unit, I find they work best with a concrete visual to help guide them through their revision process. This checklist asks students to revise in four categories: narrative, characterization, sentence structure and word choice. Sentence structure focuses strongly on fragments and run-on sentences while word choice gives a gateway to discussing linking verbs. Photo Prompt Packet 1Photo Prompt Packet 2Photo Prompt Freebie
