Provide a correct model for children to check their spelling by writing on the board or using your own set of letters. All blend the corrected word.

Children leave the letters in place, as you call out the next word. They stretch and segment it, then decide which letters they need to replace.

Sammy Snake and Harry Hat ManRole-play

(Props: Harry Hat Man's hat and a Sammy Snake headband or toy snake.) Choose two children to be Sammy Snake and Harry Hat Man. Sammy stands a few paces to Harry's right as they stand facing the class.

What sound does Sammy Snake usually make in words? Yes, he likes to hiss /sss/ very loudly. How does the Hat Man feel about noise? That's right, he hates it! So what do you think happens when Sammy comes slithering and sliding up behind Harry Hat Man in a word? What do you think Harry does? He turns his head and says /sh/ to hush Sammy up.

Ask all the children to do the sh action with one fi nger raised to the lips as they say the sound. You could pair them all up to role-play Sammy Snake and Harry Hat Man.

Show the picture side of the sh PCC and ask a child to re-tell what is happening.

Push the plain letter side forward several times for children to repeat, “/sh//sh/ /sh/” with the action.

Phonemic awareness and language developmentExplore the sh scene in the Story Phonics software and/or Far Beyond ABC book. Listen to or watch the animated story of Sammy and Harry and ask the children to hunt for items in the scene that include the /sh/ sound. The Beyond ABC story and scene are provided in this Sample Lesson (p5).

SongSing along with the sh song. Lyrics supplied in Sample Lesson (p11). Song supplied on sample lesson CD.

BlendingBlending with Picture Code Cards

Make the words below for children to blend. With the words dishes and ashes ask the children to talk about base words and suffi xes.

PCCs: ă, d, ĕ, h, ĭ, ŏ, p, ŭ, sh

Words: ship, shop, shed, hush, dish, dishes, ash, ashes

Reading and fl uency'Tricky' word

Teach the 'tricky' word see* with the PCCs for s and ee. Tell children that Mr E has a twin brother they will learn more about later. Show them the word card see and say, For now, just remember that whenever we see two of the same letter in a row, the second one will be silent. So in this word we hear just Mr E saying his name, but when we write the word we need to add his brother.

* The word see becomes decodable after Lesson 64.

Phonics Readers 2a: Shep Story provided in Sample Lesson (p8).Read with the children. Ask them to re-read it with partners.

What sound does Sammy usually make in words? Yes, he likes to hiss ‘sss…’ very loudly. How does Harry Hat Man feel about noise? That’s right, he hates it! So what do you think happens when Sammy comes slithering and sliding up behind Harry in a word? Do you think he will put up with all that noise? Absolutely not! He turns back and says, “sh!” to hush Sammy up.

Sammy came slithering up behind Harry at the seashore today, hissing loudly, so Harry had to say, “sh!” again. Sammy and Harry like to sit in the sunshine and look at all the things by the shore. They can see shells, shrimps and fi sh in the sea. Those fi sh should keep a sharp eye out for that shark in the shallow water! Can you see the shepherd shearing his sheep? There are four shy sheep who don’t want to be sheared. Can you fi nd them for him?
