Phonics Fact
Sh is a digraph. Digraphs are two
letters put together to make a
single sound, such as the sh sound
in Shelly, shirt, and shorts. What
other sh words can you find in this
story? Look at the pictures, too!
This is Shelly. She has a favorite shirt and shorts.

Shelly also has some favorite shoes. She thinks

they are really sharp!

Shucks!
Phonics Fact
The sh sound can also
come in the middle of a
word, as in pushed.
One day, Shelly got a shock. She pushed and

shoved her feet into her shoes. But her shoes
did not fit!

Phonics Fact
Sometimes the sh
sound comes at the end
of a word, as in trash.
“These shoes are going in the trash!” Mom said.

“No!” shouted Shelly.

“We should go shopping,” Mom said. So she

grabbed Shelly and dashed to Sherman’s
shoe shop.

“I have many shoes to show you,” said the

shopkeeper. “We have shelves and shelves
of shoes!”


“Too shiny!” she said.
First, he showed Shelly some fancy shoes.
Then, he showed Shelly some pointy shoes.

“I don’t like the shape!” she said.

Next, he showed Shelly some sandals covered

in seashells.
“These crush my toes!” she said.
10
I’m getting
a rash!
Shelly tried on every shoe in the shop. But the

shoes were either too showy, or too shaky, or
they gave her a rash.
11
Shelly shut her eyes and shed a tear.

“I wish I didn’t need new shoes!” she cried.
12
But then Shelly spotted one last pair on the

top shelf in the shadows.
“Gosh,” said Mom, “those look just like your
old shoes!”
13
Cash or
charge?
“I know. They are really sharp!” gushed Shelly.

“We’ll take the red shoes,” said Mom to the
shopkeeper. “Isn’t that a shock?”
