Learning Coach Notes:

Lesson #	Lesson Title	Notes
1	29.1 Ch Digraph	As your learner practices the new digraph <em>ch</em>, provide the hint that the <em>ch</em> digraph makes the /ch/ sound like a choo-choo train, or the sound a sneeze makes: achoo!
2	29.2 Ch Digraph	Remind your learner of the /ch/ sound when listening for the digraph. Use the video to practice the correct mouth formation and check your learner’s pronunciation to ensure accuracy.
3	29.3 Ch Digraph	Extend today’s learning by asking your learner to think of words that begin with the /ch/ sound. Ask your learner to say open or closed syllable words. When your child thinks of these words independently, it deepens their understanding and learning of the skills and topics.

5	29.5 Ch Digraph	Your learner will have a short review video before demonstrating their understanding of the concepts and skills learned this week. Guide your learner through this lesson, but refrain from providing answers. Your child’s teacher will use this lesson to understand how well your child is learning.
