s and h together sound like “sh” sh
We don’t have a letter in the alphabet
for the sound, shhh, so we have different
ways of spelling it.
The way we spell it the most is with

the letters “s” and “h.” You can’t
actually hear an “s” or an “h” in
the sound, shhhh, but it’s close.
(Have the child practice saying

and listening to the sound, shhh.)
Let’s practice learning to read the

letters, “sh” –
Teacher/parent information: Other ways of spelling

the shhh sound are: motion, conscious, mission, and
champagne – but a child doesn’t need to learn this now.

shop –
Here we are at the ice cream
the shop is open, the shop is nice,
but we can’t go in because we are mice. b
The girl at the shop is mean to us:
she screams, she hollers, she makes a fuss. b
She says the shop is just for people,
but in the shop are lots of “sheeple.”

I went to a shop to buy a ship

to take us on a sailing trip. The shop
was dark, the door was shut, the only
ship was a coconut.
Its little sail was red and blue – it was b

much too small for me and you. But when b
I shut my eyes, the ship was bigger,
and we sailed away on a big, blue river. b
