Hello, little learners! Today, we’re going to have a fun adventure with Shay the Snake. Shay loves to eat steak, and she wants to teach us all about the letter S. Are you ready to join her? Let’s go!
First, let’s learn the sound that the letter S makes. It’s like a hissing snake! Can you make the sound with me? Sssss! Great job! Let’s try it again, but this time a little louder. Sssss! You’re doing amazing!
Now, let’s learn how to write the letter S. There are two ways to write it: big S and little s. Let’s start with the big S. Imagine you’re drawing a big, curvy snake. Start at the top, make a curve to the left, then a curve to the right. That’s your big S!
Now, let’s try the little s. It’s just like the big S, but smaller. Start in the middle, make a little curve to the left, then a little curve to the right. Look at that! You’ve written a little s. Nice job!
Shay the Snake is so proud of you for learning about the letter S. Remember, S is for snake, steak, and smile! Keep practicing your S sound and writing, and you’ll be an expert in no time.
Thanks for joining Shay and me on this letter S adventure. Keep smiling and learning every day!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Can you find objects that start with the letter S? Look for things like socks, spoons, or soap. When you find an item, say its name out loud and make the S sound. How many S objects can you find?
Snake Craft: Create your own Shay the Snake using craft materials. Use a paper plate or a piece of paper to draw and cut out a snake shape. Decorate your snake with colors and patterns. As you work, practice saying “Sssss” like a snake. Once your snake is ready, show it to a friend or family member and tell them about the letter S.
Story Time: With a grown-up, read a storybook that has lots of words starting with the letter S. As you read, listen for the S sound. Every time you hear it, make the hissing sound like Shay the Snake. Can you think of other words that start with S to add to the story?
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
