State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will search for things found in space as they listen for words that start with the /s/ sound, such as sun, star, super, and space. 

Literacy Activities 
Search for /s/ stuff in space 

• Cut out the picture cards and show them to the children, pointing out that each picture starts with the /s/ sound.
• Scatter the cards around the room and have the children look for a picture card that starts with the /s/ sound. 
• When each child has found one picture card, have them all bring their cards back and take turns identifying the picture card to the class (support where needed). 
• Help the children stick the pictures that begin with /s/ onto the black “super space” paper. 

Repeat words that start with the target letter 

• Point to the /s/ things on the “super space” paper and have the children identify them by saying, “We saw a ___ (e.g., space suit) in super space!” 
• Turn the paper over, ask the children to say all the /s/ things that they saw, then repeat each item, emphasizing the target sound (e.g., /s/, /s/, star).
