Explanation
Value: trying something new can feel scary, but we learn. Encouraging others: “You can do it!” “Try again!” “Don’t give up!” “Well done!” Say it! — the sound sh: pull the tongue back and say “sh-sh-sh”: shark, fish, ship, shell, shoe.
Worked examples

A shy shark and a fish swim near the ship.
