Materials: primary paper, pencils, page with: fish, shoe, shop, desk, bat, dog, shell, written on it, Red Fish, Blue Fish, One Fish, Two Fish by Doctor Seuss
Procedures:
1. Introduce the lesson by
explaining
that we are still trying to crack the secret code of the alphabet. The
new mouth move we will work on today is /sh/.
2. "Have you ever been in the
library
or class and heard the teacher say "sh"? That sound means for everyone
to be quiet. Let's all tip toe around the room and go "sh."
3. Now we are going to try a tongue
twister. "Shelly stands on the ship and shoots the shark." Good. Now
this
time lets stretch it out. Sh-elly stands on the sh-ip and sh-oots the
sh-ark.
Very good.
4. Now we have to know how to write
the mouth move /sh/. The letters we use to are s and h. First let's
practice
writing s. Start at the sidewalk make a little c then curve the other
way.
Once I check your work, you can make four more. Now let's review h.
Start
at the roof make a line straight down to the ground then curve up to
the
sidewalk and back down to the ground. Once I check your h please make
four.
Now we will make five sh side by side.
5. Now I am going to say some words.
Raise your hand when you hear /sh/: shoe, sock, shop, store, fish, dog,
comb, brush, splash, shape, and book. Good Job!
6. I am going now going to pass
out copies of the book Red fish, Blue Fish, One Fish, Two Fish
.
Read the story and write the /sh/ words you see. Now can anyone name
some
words with /sh/? Wonderful!
7. For assessment have students
read words on list and circle /sh/ words.
