Free At the Market Read and Colour Activity Book for Grade 2

A trip to the market is a reading lesson. Pages on sh, ch, th, fr, pl and gr ask children to trace a word and circle the sounds in a sentence, then six read-and-colour pages follow written instructions, and a word search and a label-the-stall page finish the book.
