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.

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).
