Sh or Ch Sound worksheet for children to identify and label images with the correct phonetic sound.

Let's solve the task in the image: "Sh or Ch Sound" — we need to determine whether each picture represents a word that starts with the "sh" sound or the "ch" sound.

Here are the six pictures, one by one:

---

1. Seashell

- The word is "shell", but the "sh" sound comes at the beginning.
- This is a "sh" sound.
✔ Answer: sh

---

2. Chicken

- The word is "chicken", which starts with the "ch" sound.
- This is a "ch" sound.
✔ Answer: ch

---

3. Cabin (or shed)

- The word is likely "shed" or "cabin", but visually it looks like a small wooden structure like a "shed".
- "Shed" starts with the "sh" sound.
✔ Answer: sh

---

4. Face with tongue out (like "shhh")

- This is a common representation of the "sh" sound, as in "shhh!" to be quiet.
- So this is clearly representing the "sh" sound.
✔ Answer: sh

---

5. Cheese

- The word is "cheese", which starts with the "ch" sound.
- This is a "ch" sound.
✔ Answer: ch

---

6. School bus

- The word is "school" or "bus", but the image shows a school bus.
- The word "school" starts with the "sch" sound, which is pronounced like "sh".
- So even though it's spelled with "ch", it makes the "sh" sound.
⚠️ Important: In English, "school" has the "sh" sound, not the "ch" sound.
✔ Answer: sh

---

Final Answers:

| Picture | Word | Sound |
|--------|------|-------|
| Seashell | shell | sh |
| Chicken | chicken | ch |
| Shed/Cabin | shed | sh |
| Face saying "shhh" | shhh | sh |
| Cheese | cheese | ch |
| School bus | school | sh |

---

✔ Correct Labels:

- sh: seashell, shed, face, school bus
- ch: chicken, cheese

So, the solution is:
- Top row: sh, ch, sh
- Bottom row: sh, ch, sh

This activity helps children distinguish between the "sh" and "ch" sounds, especially noting that "ch" can sometimes make a "sh" sound (as in "school", "machine", etc.).
