Digraph sh Lesson

 


Explicit Phonics Lesson


                                                         Digraph sh                     
Day 1

Objective: Sound and blend words using the digraph sh.

Review
          We have learned that two letters that work together to make one sound are called a digraph. What digraphs have we already studied? –ck, th, and ng When is the –ck spelling used? After a short vowel sound. What are the sounds of th? /th/ and /th/ What is the sound of –ng? /ng/ as in ring. What is a digraph? Two letters that work together to make one sound.
          Today we are going to study a new digraph. Show the shoe picture card. The sound of sh is /sh/ as if you are telling someone to be quiet. The word shoe begins with /sh/. Make the sound with me by puckering your lips with your teeth almost together and blowing air. /sh/ is a quiet sound that can keep streaming out of your mouth a long time. The /sh/ sound is spelled  sh.
What is the shoe sound? /sh/
What do we call two consonants that work together to make one sound? digraph
What sound does the digraph sh make?  /sh/
What is the spelling for the shoe sound? sh

PA (oral)
          Listen to these words and see if you can hear the digraph /sh/ or not. If you hear the /sh/ sound in the word, I want you to give me a thumbs up. If you don’t hear /sh/ in the word, give me a thumbs down. So if I say ship, /sh/ /ĭ/ /p/, you would give me a thumbs up because the /sh/ sound is in the word ship. If I say sip, /s/ /ĭ / /p/, you would give me a thumbs down because you do not hear /sh/ in the word sip.

Decoding
          Use the decoding procedure as in previous lessons. After all the words have been decoded, take time to talk about the meanings of any words that might be unknown.

wish             rash             trash           crash          
ship             shop            shells           shed
shelf            shin             shock           shut  

Some clues might be:
1.   red spots on your skin                                       rash                               
2.  antonym  for open                                             shut
3.  you find them at the beach                               shells

          I am going to say some words with the /sh/sound. I want you to tell me if the sound is at the beginning, middle, or at the end of the word. If I say shy /sh/ /ī/, you would tell me the /sh/ is at the beginning of the word. If I say dish, you would tell me the /sh/ is at the end of the word. Be sure your Buddy agrees with you before you raise your hand to give me your answer. (Segment words if needed.) Where is the /sh/ sound in the word cash? At the end
Be listening carefully. I may throw in a “fooler” that doesn’t have the /sh/ sound.
