Introduction

Begin with a picture of grass. Read the words "grass" and "duck." Display the words "grass" and "duck" and ask, "Which word matches the picture?"

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

Explain that some words end with -ck, producing a single sound, as in "duck." Introduce words ending with double letters: ss, ll, ff, or zz, which also make a single sound. Display words like "grass," "bell," and "sniff." Emphasize the unique ell sound in "shell" when e and ll appear together. Show a picture of a shell and connect it to the word.
