SORT GROUPS: (Click on the group name to print your child’s sort)  
**GROUP CHANGES** Look for your child’s name
RED group (Digraphs- h, sh, ch): Devon, Kendall, Koby, Macie, Izabella
YELLOW group (Digraphs- c, h, ch): Brittany, Evelyne, Kaleb, Kolby, Mason, Tyson
ORANGE group (Blends- s, t, st): Abigail, Aiden, Colter, Ella, Emma, Jed, Samantha
GREEN group (Blends- cr, cl, fl, fr): Alex, Alexandria, Brooklyn, Jak, Riley, Boston
BLUE group (ck, ke, k): Tristen Hint: all the words ending in -ck have short vowel sounds, the words ending in -ke have long vowel sounds, and the words ending in -k have vowel sounds that are neither long nor short.  Students benefit from blind sorting these words so they rely on listening to the sound of the vowel and not just looking at the letter patterns.  **This is an assessment week for this group** If they get 90% or higher they will move to a new sort section, if not they will repeat this sort section again.

**Note: Many cards are pictures, please encourage your child to spell as much of the word as they can. Pictures are used so the students will listen to the letter sounds rather than just look for the letter that matches their header.**
