Overview
The children will get a fish into a dish as they add sounds to the –ish ending to spell words such as fish, wish, and dish.

Literacy Activities
Wish for a fish in your dish

• Teach the children the chant: “Wish! Wish! Get the fish in the dish!”
• Have children take turns tossing a toy fish into a plastic bowl as everybody says the chant.
• If a child gets the fish in the dish, have all of the children say, “The fish is in the dish!” and let that child get a fish sticker (optional).
• Hand out goldfish crackers in small plastic bowls and have the children gently swish them around in their bowls.
