"Sh" Sound Practice Worksheet for Early Learners

This worksheet is designed to help children practice the "sh" sound in words, focusing on phonics and spelling. Let's go through each section step by step and solve it.

---

🔹 Section 1: Fill in the blanks with "sh"

The first column shows words starting with "sh", and you need to write them again in the blank spaces:

- shot → _sh_ ot
- shell → _sh_ ell
- shut → _sh_ ut
- ship → _sh_ ip
- shop → _sh_ op

✔ So fill in the blanks as:
- shot → shot
- shell → shell
- shut → shut
- ship → ship
- shop → shop

---

🔹 Section 2: Match pictures to words with "sh"

Each box has a picture and a word with missing letters. You need to complete the word using the "sh" sound.

1. Picture: Shop (store)
- Word: `__op`
- Answer: shop

2. Picture: Camera
- Word: `__ot`
- Think: What starts with "sh" and sounds like "shot"? But camera? Wait — no, that’s not right.
- Actually, the picture is a camera, but the word might be "shot" — because a camera takes a *shot*!
- So: `__ot` → shot

3. Picture: Shed (small building)
- Word: `__ed`
- Answer: shed

4. Picture: Ship
- Word: `__ip`
- Answer: ship

5. Picture: Shake hands
- Word: `sh__ke` → already given as "shake"
- So just confirm: shake

6. Picture: Shirt
- Word: `__irt`
- Answer: shirt

7. Picture: Shell (seashell)
- Word: `__ell`
- Answer: shell

8. Picture: Shoe
- Word: `__oe`
- Answer: shoe

✔ So the completed words are:
- shop → shop
- shot → shot
- shed → shed
- ship → ship
- shake → shake
- shirt → shirt
- shell → shell
- shoe → shoe

🔹 Section 3: Trace the "sh" sound blocks

There are boxes with missing letters. You need to trace or write the correct letters based on the "sh" pattern.

Look at the patterns:
- First box: ___ ___ ___ ___ → likely for "shop" or "shells"
- Second: ___ ___ ___ → maybe "shut", "sho", etc.
- Third: sh __ __ → could be "shoe", "ship", etc.
- Fourth: __ __ o → maybe "sho" from "shoe"

But since it's a tracing activity, likely these are meant to be filled in with the "sh" sound.

Let’s assume the intended words are:
- 1st block: s h o p → trace: s-h-o-p
- 2nd block: s h i r t → s-h-i-r-t
- 3rd block: s h e l l → s-h-e-l-l
- 4th block: s h o e → s-h-o-e

So trace:
- s h o p
- s h i r t
- s h e l l
- s h o e

🔹 Section 4: Sentence writing

> "The shop sells shells."
> Then: "The" ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

You need to finish the sentence. But only "The" is written, so likely the child needs to copy the full sentence.

So write:
> The shop sells shells.

Or if it's a fill-in-the-blank, perhaps it's asking to write the sentence below.

But the line says:
> The ___________________________

So the child should write:
> shop sells shells.
