Review Just like the digraph /ch/, the digraph /sh/ makes 1 sound. For example fish, dish, and mash. Publish means to share your work. When we publish our story we re-write it using our edits and revisions and make it neat. We can also choose to illustrate our story.
Spelling Remember when we want to pluralize a word ending in s, z, x, sh, or ch we add an es to the end. boxesfoxeschurches dishescouchesbrushes rusheswashesdashes
