This is a phonic power point for the phoneme /sh/. Phonological awareness concepts are included, such as; identifying the /sh/ sound in the beginning, middle and end of words and blending sounds to read words. For differentiation purposes, some extension slides are included that cover sounds not regularly taught prior to the /sh/ phoneme. Sound buttons under each word encourage students to sound out each word prior to reading. At the end of the slide there is an activity whereby teachers can allow students to brainstorm words that have the target phoneme in various places (beginning, middle and end).
Includes the graphemes:
ai, ay, a-e, ee, ea, e, y, oa, o-e, o, ar and initial code words
Differentiated into 4 different levels of ability
Includes: read, trace and write & read, fill in the missing sound and write
Includes a spelling test blank student sheet
Includes a teacher spelling checklist
includes a teacher reading checklist
includes grapheme tiles to use for sound swapping or testing activities
Teacher explanation is provided in this pack.
Phonic Roll and Read game boards. These games are differentiated. Choose the boards that target your specific phonemes and the graphemes you are teaching. A consolidation, or extension, board is provided for each target phoneme that includes a combination of graphemes. This is an easy way to differentiate phonic activities in a classroom. When students arrive to the ‘Roll and Read’ table, they simply choose the board that has their target graphemes on.
Graphemes include; ai, ay, a-e,
ee, e, ea, y ,
oa, ow, o
ar
One board for each grapheme introduced
A consolidation board is included with all graphemes for the target phoneme (sound)
Instruction sheet is provided for the teacher
Teacher checklist to record skills used by students to decode the words
Blank board to write your own words on
The target phoneme is underlined on each board so it will prompt the student to say the sound as a whole (e.g. ‘feet’)
Most words are one syllable but there are some two syllable words included
I hope you find this useful. Laminate games or put them in plastic sleeves for reuse and save on printing ink.

graphemes:
/ai/ /ay/ /a-e/
/e/ /ee/ /ea/ /y/ /e-e/
/o/ /oa/ /o-e/ /ow/
/ar/ /a/
/i/ /igh/ /i/ /i-e/ /y/

I use these after I have taught the sounds and graphemes quite explicitly. These can be a great activity to use in partner reading as students love to time themselves and beat their speed. I laminate these and students write tally marks onto them for how many times they read through the strips although I also have recording cards that they can use. The word lists are also a very handy resource for teacher use.
