 Ask five children to come the front of the class. Tell each one that they are wearing a wonderful new dress/T-shirt, or
wonderful new socks/pants/shorts. They are very proud of their new clothes.
 Ask the class to say the chant again. When the children hear their item of clothing mentioned, they show it off to the
class (e.g., the girl with the dress might do a twirl or hold out the hem, and the child with the socks might lift up
his/her leg and point to his/her feet).

pants blue. Color the T-shirt green. Color the dress red. Color the shorts orange.
Ÿ Children check their coloring together by asking and answering questions, e.g., What color are the socks? Yellow.
(Worksheet 1: Coloring dictation – outlines of 5 items of clothing – a pair of socks, a pair of pants, a t-shirt, a dress, and a
pair of shorts. The rubric reads Listen and color.)
Spinner game
 Divide the class into pairs. Give each pair a copy of the Word Spinner.
 Children take turns spinning a pencil or pen.
 When the spinner stops, the child looks at the picture and says the word.
 The winner is the first child to say all the words.
Smiley face
 Think of a word, e.g., dress and draw a short line for each letter on the board, one next to the other (e.g., _ _ _ _ _).
 Ask the children to guess the letters that are in the secret word, one by one.
 If a child guesses a letter correctly, write the letter on the correct line.
 If a child guesses incorrectly, write the letter on the board with an X through it, and draw a large circle to represent a
face. With each letter that is guessed incorrectly, add another feature to the face (two eyes, a nose, a smile, two ears,
a neck, and hair).

Culture note: Dress codes
In the United States there are public schools (free for everyone) and private schools (families pay for their children to
attend). 90% of students in the US go to public schools. In private schools, students have to wear school uniforms. In
public schools, students usually don’t have to wear uniforms, but there is a dress code.

The dress code is different in different public schools. In most schools, students cannot wear very short skirts, shorts,
and tank tops (tops without sleeves). Many schools do not allow children to wear T-shirts with inappropriate pictures,
such as guns. Students usually cannot wear hats in class.

the game and has to sit down.
 Give the instructions (Simon says) put on your coat/socks/shoes/hat/dress/pants/T-shirt/shorts. Children pretend to
put on the item of clothing stated.

Lesson Four Phonics


Objectives
 To pronounce the sound /ʃ/ on its own and in words
 To differentiate between the sounds /ʃ/, /s/, and /h/
Language
 Language focus: speaking, listening, and reading
 Vocabulary: shoes, sheep, fish
 Extra vocabulary: want
 Pronunciation tip: The difference between /ʃ/ and /s/ can be very difficult for some children to pronounce. Get them
to practice the /s/ sound by mimicking a snake, and the /ʃ/ sound by putting a finger to the lips and making a shush
noise for quiet. Encourage them to feel the tip of their tongue at the back of their top teeth for /s/, and then above
their top teeth for /ʃ/.
Resources and materials
 Student Book p. 51
 Workbook p. 51
 Audio Tracks 82–83
 Phonics cards 27–29 (sh)
 Worksheet 5: Color by letters (one copy per child)
 A reader of your choice
Language note: digraphs
Distinct sounds that are represented by a combination of letters, such as sh, ch, and th are called “digraphs.” These
are different from consonant blends, which will be covered in Level 2. Digraphs should be treated as if they were
letters of the alphabet in their own right.

Introduction
Weather report: Ask the class about today’s weather.
Song: Play a warm-up song.
Warmer
 Say the alphabet around the class.
 See how many words students can remember that start with each letter (except for x).
Lead-in
 Tell children that although they have learned all the letters of the alphabet, they haven’t learned all the sounds in
English. Some sounds are represented by more than one letter (see the note on digraphs above).
 Tell children that today they will be looking at the letters sh that represent the sound /ʃ/.
 Write sh on the board in large letters and explain that this is a new sound. Model the sound for children to repeat.
 Hold up Phonics cards 27–29 one at a time, saying the words for the class to repeat. Hold them up in a different order
and repeat.

Presentation
Listen, point, and repeat. (Exercise 1)
 Ask children to look at the words that contain the letters sh in their Student Books.
 Play the first part of the recording (Track 82, Listen and point) for children to listen and point to the pictures.
 Play the second part of the recording (Track 82, Listen and repeat) for children to repeat the sounds and words in
chorus.

repeat them.
