When s joins h they make one sound /sh/. To help children understand this, I make sound boxes and letter boxes with blue masking tape. Then, I have children push up a magnet for each letter heard. Next, I have them write the letters of the sounds they heard. This multi-sensory activity helps children understand that two letters can make one sound. This is followed by practice pages and small group instruction sound/letter boxes using cookie sheets and magnets(shown in this post).
Shop has 3 sounds and 4 letters. In this example /sh/ appears at the beginning of the word.
In this example /sh/ appears at the end of the word.
The student is working on the sound/spelling boxes for the words: shop, ship, fish and dish. Instead of magnets, students are given small markers to push up.
Shop has 3 sounds and 4 letters. In this example /sh/ appears at the beginning of the word.
After students push up the markers they make a representation of each marker to show how many sounds they heard in the word.
