Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with letters and sounds? Let’s dive in and learn together!
When the letters “s,” “h,” and “r” come together, they make a special sound: “shr.” Let’s look at some words that start with “shr”:
Did you know? A “shrike” is a small bird that eats insects and sometimes even small animals!
Here are some more words that start with “shr.” Try reading them out loud:
Now, let’s learn about the sound “squa.” This sound is made by the letters “s,” “q,” and “u.” Here are some words that start with “squa”:

Great job! Keep practicing these sounds and words, and you’ll become a super reader in no time!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects or items that start with the “shr,” “squa,” or “ch” sounds. For example, you might find a shirt for “shr,” a square piece of paper for “squa,” or a watch for “ch.” Share your findings with a friend or family member and see who can find the most items!
Sound Sorting Game: Create three boxes or areas labeled “shr,” “squa,” and “ch.” Write down words from the lesson on small pieces of paper, mix them up, and place them in a pile. Take turns picking a word and placing it in the correct box. Can you sort all the words correctly? Try timing yourself to see how fast you can do it!
Create a Silly Story: Use your imagination to create a short, silly story using at least one word from each sound group (“shr,” “squa,” and “ch”). For example, “The shrimp decided to squirt water at the watch.” Draw a picture to go along with your story and share it with your class or family!
