Learning Objectives
After reading the story “A Day at the Beach with Shelly” and being provided with the sentence
pattern “The + adjective + noun + is + verb.”, students will be able to:
Identify and differentiate between /sh/ and /ch/ digraph words from the story.
Express personal opinions and feelings about the story and beach experiences, participating in
class discussion by responding to open-ended questions.
Write 1–2 original sentences using the sentence pattern “The + adjective + noun + is + verb,”
incorporating /sh/ and /ch/ words from the story.
Introduction
Objective: Review /sh/ and /ch/ sounds
Write or display /sh/ and /ch/ word cards (e.g., shark, ship, shell, chair, chill, chew).
Students take turns identifying which sound they hear and sort the words.
Read the Story: “A Day at the Beach with Shelly”
Present students with a picture for the story and have them predict what the story will be
about.
Read the story aloud once while students listen.
Read again, this time pointing out /sh/ and /ch/ words. Ask students to signal when they
hear a word with one of those sounds.
Allow students time to read on their own.
Discussion & Opinion Sharing
1. “Where your guesses right? What differences do you recall?”
2. “Would you like to go to the beach like Shelly? Why or why not?”
3. “What part of her beach trip do you like the most?”
4. “Do you think Shelly was scared when she saw the shark?”
5. “What were the word with the “sh” diagraph?”
6. “Do you recall any word with the “ch” sound?”
Sentence Construction
Use the diagraphs from the story to write sentences using the sentence pattern "The + adjective +
noun + is + verb."
Write on the board:
“The shiny shell is sitting in the sand.”
Highlight each part of the pattern.
As a class:
Build a sentence together based on student input:
“The small ship is sailing near the shark.”
Independently:
Students write 1–2 sentences using the pattern. Encourage them to:
o Describe something in the story
o OR describe something they would do at the beach
Share with a partner or read aloud.
Formative Assessment:
Recall words from the story with the ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ diagraph. If it is a ‘ch’ diagraph, have students
sit, if it is a ‘sh’ diagraph, have students stand.
Conclusion:
Review the sounds produce through choral pronunciation and have volunteer students create
sentences orally.
Thursday:
After reviewing the story “A Day at the Beach with Shelly”, students will be able to:
Recall and sequence key events from the story in correct order.
Reflect on their favourite part of the story and explain why they liked it.
Write a sentence about a story event using the pattern: “The + adjective + noun + is + verb.”
Materials
Printed copy of the story or projected version
Visual sequencing cards (4–5 events from the story)
Word bank (with /sh/ and /ch/ words from the story)
Sentence frame templates
Crayons or colored pencils
Introduction
Review digraphs /sh/ and /ch/ with a few examples from the story:
o sh: shore, shells, shark, ship, shallow
o ch: chill, chair, chew, chasing
Students sort the words by sound (use word cards or say them aloud and sort on the
board).
Story Re-read & Opinion Sharing
Briefly review the story with students.
1. Present 4–5 sentence cards with key events (e.g., Shelly collecting shells, chilling in her
chair, chewing gum, watching a ship, seeing the shark).
2. Students work in small groups or as a class to put the events in order.
Ask guiding questions:
What happened first?
What did Shelly do after she sat in her chair?
What was the most exciting part?
Which part of Shelly’s beach day was your favourite
Have you ever done something like Shelly did?
Would you like to see a shark like Shelly did?
Sentence Writing
Review sentence pattern:
“The + adjective + noun + is + verb.”
Model a sentence from the story:
o The shiny shell is sitting.
o The little shark is chasing a fish.
Have students write their own sentence about one event from the story or their favourite part
using the pattern.
Formative Assessment:
Have students draw a picture of their favourite part of the story and write a sentence using the provided
sentence pattern to express themselves.
Conclusion:
Ask a few students to read their sentences aloud.
What did we learn today about Shelly’s day?
Quick review of /sh/ and /ch/ sounds—students give one word for each.
