Sipping Strawberry Sodas with a Straw


We have a great recipe and fun activity for  teaching the letter Ss…one that involves strawberries and/or  strawberry soda.    This activity makes a nice cool, summer treat.  It is also fun for Valentine’s Day, or Christmas because it is red.   The children love to see the soda ‘sizzle’ when added to the ice cream….  they can hear and say the letter ‘Ss’ sound right along with the sizzling soda!  Try this activity to teach the letter Ss sound…  Ssssss.

 

Sipping Strawberry Sodas with a Straw


Ingredients:

Strawberry Crush Soda

Vanilla Ice Cream

Straw

Spoon

1)  Add vanilla ice cream to a glass

2)  Fill glass with Strawberry Crush soda

3)  Enjoy using your straw and spoon!  


Alternative Healthier recipe – blend strawberries, sugar and ice in a blender, and enjoy!  This recipe does not sizzle and make the Ss sound as much, but – it certainly is a fun activity and fun drink – and still helps in teaching the Ss sound.

Handwriting Patch Curriculum
Teach a child handwriting AND drawing using our handwriting curriculum.

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound ReadingMrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.
