Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook by Michael Garland

Back to PALS page
(scroll down for more activities & information)


 ​The emphasis in this lesson is on producing the /z/ sound at the beginning  of words.  This sound is often spelled with an “s” rather than a “z”, and it extremely common in  the very small words which are some of the most frequently used in English.   The /z/ is produced in the same place and manner as the /s/ sound,  but with the vocal folds activated to produce voice. Here are some ways you can practice the initial  /z/ sound:

1.Practice bumble bee sounds - "Zzzzzzzzz". 

2. Practice counting by starting with "zero"
​

 

 Core Vocabulary: zap, zero, zillion, zing, zip,  zipper, zoom, zucchini

Line-up cheer- Teacher: Zig!  Kids: Zag!

Craft : Make a story book with characters to glue in.
