  • ski
  • skate
  • scribble
  • scream
  • skill

Materials:

  • Skill to Skip, Scream, and Sketch story 

State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that today they will talk about different activities that begin with the /sk/ sound.

Literacy Activities
Act out target words

  • Write a list of verbs that begin with /sk/ or /sc/ on the board or provide the children with a list (e.g., ski, skate, scribble, scream, scowl, skip, scamper, scramble, scatter, scare, sketch). Read through the words together. Clarify the meaning of words as necessary.
  • Act out one of the words that require skill (like sketching and skiing) and have the children try to guess which /sk/ word you are doing.
  • Act out an activity that does not take skill (like scowling and scribbling).
  • Have the children guess which /sk/ word you are doing.
  • Ask individual children to act out a word of their choice and let the class guess the word.
  • Tell the child that is acting out the word to give the class a hint by telling them if the activity takes skill or not.

More Practice
Read target words

  • Read the Skill to Skip, Ski and Sketch story as a class or in small groups. Have the children circle the words that begin with the /sk/ or /sc/ blend.

Write about the activity

  • Have the children make two lists about which /sk/ activities are easy for them and which are hard.
  • Title the first list, “I have these skills”.
  • Title the second list, “I want to learn these skills” or “I do not have these skills".
