Literacy Activities
Show and share
- Give the children some modeling clay or play dough.
- Show the children the picture cards and help the children read the word on each card.
- Have the children underline the letters sh in the word on each card and emphasize that the words all start with the /sh/ sound.
- Let the children make the letters s and h using their clay and have them say the /sh/ sound.
- Have the children choose a picture card and let them use their clay to make a shape representing the picture on the card (e.g., shark, shell, shirt, ship, shoe, shovel, sheep or shop).
- Emphasize the /sh/ sound at the beginning of the word on each picture card (e.g., /sh/, /sh/, shark).
- Have a show and share (like show and tell) and allow the children to hold up their shape and explain what it is.
- Repeat as many times as desired, giving the children a chance to mold several different shapes.
More Practice
