Identifying the S Sound in Words

Miss Phonic introduces the S sound, explaining its occurrence in words and how it can be represented by the letter C. She engages students with a magic box activity to find objects containing the S sound, such as pencil, rice, and circle. The lesson continues with a writing exercise using 'magic fingers' to form the letter S. Finally, students practice reading words like 'nice', 'face', and 'slice' to reinforce the S sound. The session concludes with encouragement and anticipation for future lessons.
