From FreeReading
| Activity Type: Introduce |
| Activity Form: Standard |
| Grade: K, 1 |
| Group Size: Small Group, Whole Class |
| Length: 10 minutes |
| Materials: Full size letter cards |
| Goal: Given a printed letter combination, the student can say its sound. |
| Items: Letters a,/a/,/ay/,/ai/,s,/s/,/sh/ |
What to do
- Write the letters Sh on the board; make them at least foot tall. Alternatively use a letter card large enough to see.
- Some letters stick together, so they make one sound even though they are two letters. Here are two letters that stick together. The sound for these letters is /shh/. When you say /sh/, its like you're telling someone to be quiet because the baby is asleep:/shh/. What is the sound?
- Look for students who are not saying the sound. Ask them: What's the sound? Look for students who are making the wrong sound and model the sound for them until they have have it right. Well done, everyone.
