Fourth Grade Mini Literacy Pack: From Big Ideas to Word Power (The Schwa Sound)

Lemon, wagon, about... the lazy schwa sound, finally explained.

This 13 page pack takes your child from hearing sounds all the way to reading and writing a story, one small step at a time. It's built around five short sessions, about 15 to 20 minutes a day. No prep. Just print and begin.

What your scholar will practice
