Goal: cumulative short-vowel and sh/ch accuracy plus a literal sentence retell. Codes: AC9E1LY04, AC9E1LY05, AC9E1LY11. Prepare: word tiles, Day 11 choice, sound-to-sentence aid.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Show ship, chip, sit. Say: “Point to the two letters that make one sound. Now blend the whole word.” If a child gives the word from the first letter, cover and reveal each grapheme.
  2. Model · 5 min. Segment ship as /sh/ /i/ /p/, place sh in one box, blend, then read the chosen controlled line once accurately and once with natural phrasing. Say: “The letters tell me the word; the sentence tells me what happened.”
  3. Guide · 7 min. Read the chosen Day 11 line together. Ask “Who or what acted? What did they do? Which printed word helped you know?” Contrast the action in another option orally, without asking learners to read an unchosen strip.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Learners point-track or read the chosen strip, then arrange picture/action cards for its meaning. Dictate sit or tap for letter tiles. Record print accuracy separately from oral meaning.
  5. Exit · 3 min. Give familiar dish to a focus group. Ask for /sh/ at the end and a smooth whole-word read. If the digraph splits, place its letters in one phoneme box; recheck with another taught word later.

Access/home/extension: Supply tactile sh tile and AAC action choices; adult can read the context, not the controlled line unless support is recorded. At home use scrap-paper words. An already secure learner composes a second controlled line with taught words and explains whether it changes the actor or action.
