Learning Objectives
Students will be able to identify words beginning with the sh diagraph and recognize which letters make this sound.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Call students together. Do an elaborate routine of ssshhhing the students to begin the lesson. (For example, “A ssshhhh fell over the crowd.”)
- Read students the book Sheep on a Ship by Nancy Shaw. While reading, make sure to stress the sh sound whenever it appears in the story.
Beginning
- Pre-read the story with students in home language (L1) and English prior to the start of the lesson.
Intermediate
- Go on a picture walk prior to reading the story to introduce any new vocabulary words.
