शिक्षकों के लिए निर्देश

इस गतिविधि का उद्देश्य विद्यार्थियों को ‘s’ अक्षर के अलग-अलग उच्चारण पहचानना और सही तरीके से बोलना सिखाना है। नीचे दिए गए चरणों का पालन करें:

1. शब्दों का परिचय कराएँ –
(sage, promising, wisdom, trees, surprise)

sage और promising – /s/
wisdom और trees – /z/
surprise – पहला /s/, दूसरा /z/

2. उदाहरण के साथ समझाएं –

बोर्ड पर शब्द लिखें। धीरे-धीरे बोलें और विद्यार्थियों से दोहराने को कहें।

टिप: /z/ ध्वनि में गले में हल्की वाइब्रेशन होती है, /s/ में नहीं।

3. समूह अभ्यास करवाएँ –

पहले सभी मिलकर, फिर छोटे समूह, फिर एक-एक विद्यार्थी बोलें।

4. सुनने और लिखने का अभ्यास –

शब्द सुनकर तय करें कि उसमें /s/ है या /z/ और नोटबुक में लिखें।

/s/ Sound	/z/ Sound
sun	zebra
sit	lazy
salt	please
simple	goes
school	roses

Write the sound next to the word:

beds – /z/
