What to do
- Write the letters sh on the board, make them at lest a foot tall. Alternatively, use a letter card large enough for the whole group to see easily.
- 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/. it's like your telling someone to be quiet because the baby is asleep: /shh/. What's the sound?
- Look for students who are not saying the sound. Ask them: What's the sound? Look for students who are not saying the sound
