In the next step. Try to bring up the picture cards. That works very well with kids of small ages. Kids love to see pictures. You can simply start by showing pictures to the kids one by one. And let them guess the name of the object or thing. Such as you can begin with the shovel picture and let them guess. If they need clues you can give clues such as which we use as a beach toy? Or the thing which is used to dig the sand and so on…
3. sh words sound
sh sound – Here we will learn the sound of sh. Next, you can write big S on the board let them recall the sound of the letter S. Then you can proceed with the sound of the next letter h on the board. Now let them know when you blend these two letters together it gives us a brand new sound i.e. /sh/.In this way, you can start practicing sh words phonics.
