Listening to the Seaside
When we visit the seaside, we hear many wonderful sounds of nature and life by the water. In English, many seaside words share special starting sounds like /s/ (as in sun) and /sh/ (as in ship).
Look at the sound chart below to explore how these words sound:
- /s/ Sound Words: sea, sand, sail, seal, starfish
- /sh/ Sound Words: shell, shark, ship, shore, shed
Tip: To make the /s/ sound, smile and let the air hiss gently. To make the /sh/ sound, round your lips as if asking someone to be quiet!
Clapping the Beats of Sea Animals
Every sea creature’s name has a rhythm. We can count the beats, called syllables, by clapping our hands as we say each word clearly.
Study the syllable data table below:
- 1 Clap (1 Syllable): crab, fish, whale, shark
- 2 Claps (2 Syllables): dol-phin, tur-tle, o-cean, sea-gull
- 3 Claps (3 Syllables): oc-to-pus, jel-ly-fish
Say each word aloud and clap on every part. Notice how dol-phin has two clear beats, while whale has only one!
Intonation and Natural Seaside Talk
When we talk about life by the seaside and sea animals, the melody of our voice goes up or down. This melody is called intonation.
Voice Going Up ↗ (Yes / No Questions)
- Is that a dolphin? ↗
- Do you live near the beach? ↗
Voice Going Down ↘ (Information Statements)
- The turtle swims in the clean water. ↘
- Sharks live in the deep ocean. ↘
Practise asking and answering these seaside questions with a partner, using a friendly and natural tone of voice!
