In this blending of consonants activity, 4th graders complete a story by filling in sixteen blanks from a spelling list of words with ch/sh/tch/wh. Students find and circle each of their answers in a word search puzzle.

Learners search for and find certain letters, blends, or vowel combinations in words, sentences and paragraphs. They investigate how these letters, blends or combinations are used in "every day" writing.
