Alternative Sort: Can You Wear It?Remove the picture card for six. Lead children to re-sort the remaining cards into two piles, placing things people can wear in one pile and things people cannot wear in another pile.

ELL English Language LearnersUse a word from this week’s sort in a sentence. Show the picture card to children as you use the word. Then have children form sentences using the same word. Repeat with other words from the sort.

Vocabulary Building VocabularyUse a group of pencils or other small objects to demonstrate the number six. Count the objects aloud and have the class repeat after you. Label the group. Then encourage children to find groups of six objects in the classroom.

Teacher TipEncourage children to brainstorm other words that begin with s, h, or sh. Invite them to draw pictures of the words and incorporate them into the sort.

Introduce/Model Small Groups

• Read a Rhyme Read “On Our Ship” several times until children become familiar with the rhyme. Call on volunteers to track specific words, such as sail, ship, and Hold. When children have shown they can track accurately, have them search the rhyme to find words that begin with the sound of s, h, or sh.

• Model Use the whiteboard DVD or the CD picture cards. Explain that children will sort the pictures by the beginning sounds of their names. Demonstrate how to sort horse, shirt, and saw. Help children sort and explain their sorts.

Practice the Sort Independent/Partner

• Have children use the Student Book or whiteboard DVD to name the pictures and use the grid to sort the cards by their beginning sound.

• Have children check and explain their sorts.

Apply Independent/Partner/Small Groups

• Read aloud the directions on Student Book p. 152. Have children work independently or with a partner to write words and draw pictures of things whose names begin like sun, hand, and shovel.

• Game Allow time for children to play Find the Pairs, which is on the CD.

• Little Book Read She Said with children. Have them identify words that begin with /s/, /h/, or /sh/.

s, h, and Digraph sh
