Students will complete a worksheet identifying additional "sh" words at home, which will be checked by the teacher without peer presentations.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 mins | Begin with a brief introduction to the "sh" sound. Show flashcards and have students repeat the sound. |
| 2 | Word Identification | 10 mins | Present flashcards with words that contain "sh." Students take turns reading aloud and identifying the "sh" sound. Make a list on the whiteboard. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 mins | Split the class into two groups. Each group will create a list of as many "sh" words as they can within a set time. Provide worksheets for them to write on. |
| 4 | Reading Fluency | 5 mins | Conduct a timed reading exercise with a short passage that includes multiple "sh" words. Assess students quietly while they read. |
| 5 | Conclusion | 5 mins | Review what was learned about the "sh" sound. Discuss how they can find more "sh" words at home. Explain the homework assignment. |
"Good morning, class! Today, we're going to explore an exciting sound: the 'sh' sound. Can everyone say 'sh' with me? (pause for students to repeat) Great job! This sound can be found in many words, and today we'll learn to identify it as we read and play together. Let's jump right in!"
"Now, I have some flashcards here with words that contain the 'sh' sound. I'm going to show you each card, and I want you to take turns reading them aloud. Can you see the first one? (hold up the first flashcard) This word is 'shoe.' What sound do you hear at the beginning? Yes, that's right, 'sh!'
Let's go through some more together. (continue with each flashcard) As you read each word, let's make a list on the whiteboard of all the words that have the 'sh' sound. Who can help me write them down?
(Write down the words as students read them aloud) Wonderful! Look at all these 'sh' words we’ve just discovered!"
"Now, let's have some fun and learn with our friends! I’m going to split you into two groups. Your task is to come up with a list of as many 'sh' words as you can. You’ll have ten minutes, so work together to brainstorm. Use these worksheets to write down your words. Remember, think about what we've learned so far. Ready, set, go!"
(After ten minutes) "Time’s up! Let’s see what words each group has come up with."
"Now, we're going to practice reading fluency with a short passage that has lots of 'sh' words. I’ll hand out the passages, and I want you to read it out loud quietly to yourself. I’ll be walking around to listen and check your fluency. Remember to focus on the 'sh' words we’ve been practicing!"
(Assess students quietly as they read)
"Great job, everyone! You all did so well with reading."
"Let’s wrap up what we learned today! Who can tell me what the 'sh' sound is? (wait for responses) Yes! It's that sound we make when we say ‘sh’ like in 'shoes' or 'fish.'
Now, I want you to think about how you can find more 'sh' words at home. You might look in books, signs, or even listen for them in conversations!
For homework, I’m giving you a worksheet to find and identify additional 'sh' words. Remember to bring it back to class so I can check your work. Thank you all for a wonderful lesson today!"
