When we ask a question, we usually begin with words such as: Who, What, Where, Why, and How. First, I will post a read aloud of Sheila Rae the Brave. After that, I will post a powerpoint where you will answer questions about that story and finally, there is a review powerpoint where you will decide whether a word has the /ch/ or /sh/ digraph. Have a great day!
