Fluency Quick Check — student copy · Digraphs — Digraphs Review 2

Name: ________________ Date: __________

It's Ralph's birthday. He knows he can make a wish. But Ralph knows that he has had the birthday he would wish for, without having to make any wishes at all!

Ralph gets to golf with Gramps. They go to a golf spot.

Ralph hits the last ball—whack! As quick as a wink, the ball rolls and sinks!

At the end of golf, Gramps is stiff.

They go back to the hut for lunch. Ralph has a pink drink with fizz in a tall glass… yum!

Yum! They are all full. Gramps hands Ralph a gift.

The gift did buzz and tick. “Thanks for the fun gift, Gramps,” says Ralph.

Mom and Dad have a big gift for Ralph. Ralph checks it to see what it is… a big ship!

They all sing a song to Ralph. “Make a wish, Ralph,” says Mom.

“I got to be with all of you,” says Ralph. “You got fun gifts for me!”
