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!

UDL lesson plan: THE MAGIC FISH

The comedy helps tell a social/moral lesson which can be appreciated by a diversity of students.
