About this worksheet

Two picture bingo boards packed with SH words.

What kids practice

Articulation means making speech sounds clearly. For the SH sound, the lips push out round, the tongue lifts up a little behind the bump behind the top teeth, and a soft wind of air flows out with the voice off. Many children master SH between ages 5 and 7, so it's common to still be working on it in 2nd grade. A child who is practicing SH often says s instead (sip for ship) or makes a slushy sound with air coming out the sides. These sheets climb the same ladder speech therapists use: the sound alone, then syllables, words, phrases, sentences, reading and everyday talking. Common Core doesn't cover speech sounds, so these sheets have no Common Core code.

Watch for

  • Saying s for sh (sip for ship). Push the lips out and pull the tongue back a little.
  • Flat, smiley lips. SH needs round lips; a smile turns it into s.
  • Moving up too fast. If SH slips in sentences, practice phrases for a few more days.
  • If your child is hard to understand, frustrated when talking, or not improving, ask a speech-language pathologist for an evaluation.

It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full articulation: the SH sound guide for 2nd grade.
