Welcome to my store and thanks for stopping by! I've been teaching in out-of-school settings for over 15 years. From helping children understand wriggling pythons as a zoo education officer (dream job!), to using historical objects as keys to unlock our past, my teaching experience has been far from typical. I'm currently a schools manager for a museum and art gallery, working with hundreds of children of all ages each year.

A fun activity for early readers at home or school. This resource looks at 4 consonant digraphs - sh, ch, wh, and th (at the beginning of words).

The foldable mini-book can then be closed to show just the letters, then carefully opened to reveal what’s inside. Some children may require extra adult support with cutting or folding. This resource is 11 pages and contains 2 different templates per digraph. There are also written instructions and, a picture showing how to fold. Templates should be printed landscape.
