/sh/ Sound Spelled S or SS Word List
By Rodney Everson
The s and ss spellings of the /sh/ sound are found in few enough English words to justify teaching them as exceptions as they are encountered, but here is a list of those found in the database.
Of the 7,000 words in the database constructed from a popular children’s dictionary, ten of them are words with the /sh/ sound spelled either "s" or "ss".
Note on the word divisions: Each word is divided into chunks determined by the unique and effective OnTrack Reading Multisyllable Method. The chunks are not syllables.
