Decodable — The Posh Ship

Use this decodable text to give students practice reading closed-syllable words with the digraph 'sh'. For example, in the word posh, the two letters 's' and 'h' form one grapheme that represents the /sh/ sound. To skillfully read this text, students should already know how to read closed-syllable words with all vowel sounds.
