Phonemic Awareness
Materials: Picture cards, phonemic awareness worksheet
• Say the word saw and emphasize the /s/ sound. Have students listen for the /s/ sound at
the beginning of the word as you repeat it. Then have them say the word.
• Tell students you are going to say some words. Some of the words begin with /s/ and
other words do not. Tell them they should say /sss/ whenever they hear the /s/ sound at
the beginning of a word. Say the following words one at a time, allowing time for student
response: sat, sing, map, seal, tree, seven, sailboat, pillow, soap.
• Say the word glass, emphasizing the /s/ sound, and ask students what sound they hear at
the end. Tell them that sometimes they can hear the /s/ sound at the end of words. Say
the following words one at a time, and ask students to say /sss/ whenever they hear the
/s/ sound at the end of a word: hiss, bear, mess, boss, gum, loose, fog.
• Mix up the picture cards and place them in a pocket chart or along the chalkboard ledge
as you name each one. Ask individual students to help you sort the pictures according to
those that start with /s/ and those that end with /s/.
• Play I Spy. Look around the room to find things whose names start with the /s/ sound,
adding clues until a student correctly identifies the item in the classroom. Repeat, using
words ending in /s/.
• Give students the phonemic awareness worksheet for extra practice.

Blend the Sounds
Materials: Decodable teacher word cards
• Place the decodable teacher word cards Sam and sap in a pocket chart or along the
chalkboard ledge. Ask students what the two words have in common. If students don’t
respond, point out they both begin with the /s/ sound. Ask them to tell you the letter
that stands for the /s/ sound.
• Demonstrate sounding out the first word by saying each sound as you run your finger
under the word: /sss/ /aaa/ /mmm/. Hold the sounds for one second. Then say the word
quickly: Sam.
• Have students sound out the word with you, holding the sounds for one second.
• Repeat the process with the word sap, holding all sounds except for the /p/.

Read the Decodable Book
Materials: Decodable book Sam and the Sap
• Show students the cover of the book. Have them read the title with you as you run your
finger under each word. Ask students what they see in the picture and what they think
the story might be about.
• Turn to page 4 and ask students what they think Pap and the man are going to do with
the pan.
• Give students their books.
• Point to the word gets on page 5. Cover the s with your finger and ask students what the
word is. Then uncover the s and cover the word get. Ask students what sound this letter
stands for. Uncover the whole word and ask students to read the whole word.
• Read the first page together as you model how to sound out decodable words and read
high-frequency words quickly. If you think students are able to read the book on their
own, have them continue reading the book independently. If you think students need
more support, continue to read the book with them.
• When students have finished reading, ask what Pam was doing while Pap and the man
were filling the pans.
