hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech we have a lot of words today so I'm not
-
going to get into definitions we're going to jump right into the lesson our
-
words are shower sour sore and sure alright so for all of
-
these words here they're going to start with the S sound and to do this the tip
-
of your tongue is pointed towards the bottom of your mouth or it's behind the
-
top front teeth and that air is going to keep moving this is different than the
-
SH sound which is two letters that equal one sound and to say this sound your
-
lips are going to be puckered Shh your tongue is not going to be touching your
-
teeth that's going to be behind your top front teeth so the difference is my lips
-
are a little more pulled back and Shh for the SH again two letters one sound
-
now for the vowels this actually gets very confusing because of the spelling
-
we are going to think of shower and sour as two beats and two syllables I did
-
break out the vowels for you just so that you could see the difference here
-
so for shower what we're going to do is we're going to move to that ow
-
vowel and you're gonna open ow and then pucker for that then we're gonna add the
-
er and to do that ow er you see your mouth is going to open
-
pucker and then your lips are gonna have to pull back into that square tense shape
-
for that er vowel for this vowel we are not touching our teeth with our tongue
-
at all for the R you can either point that tip down or flip it back so we have
-
two beats shall were shower shower shower and then for sour we're just
-
going to start with the s sour sour sour now for sore and soar you
-
are going to end with that or vowel sore and to do this you are going to
-
move your lips to a pucker and then pull them back and do square tense shape for
-
that er so let's give them all a try shower shower shower sour sour sour
-
sore sore sore soar soar soar so yes these two words are pronounced exactly
-
the same you might be asking what about the word show and for that we're just
-
going to have that long o and then what about shore and to do that we are just
-
going to start with that SH sound so we have show shower
-
sour sore soar shore so give it a try I know people are going to notice the
-
