Hey everyone it is Jennifer with Tarle speech and your two for Tuesday homophone lesson.
-
Homophones are words with different spellings,
-
different meanings, but they are pronounced exactly the same way.
-
We have two words today:
-
thrown a ceremonial chair and thrown to propel with force
-
So to say these words correctly we are going to start with that t h
-
sound th. Your tongue comes out of your mouth for the sound and you need to have space between your
-
teeth and your tongue so the air can move over your tongue and out of your mouth. I tell people
-
not to touch their teeth with their tongue even though sometimes they can touch slightly on the
-
sides. Just because if you touch the front teeth, you close the ability for the air to come out,
-
and then it sounds like t and we don't want that we want a th th
-
You can see my tongue sort of makes a little cup. th th th
-
Then from there we are going to move to that r sound. To do this the tip of your
-
tongue is inside of your mouth and it's either pointed down or flipped back. My tip is for this
-
take your time this is a super difficult sound combination
-
so practice moving slowly let's try it together. thr thr thr
-
After you get good at that you can go a little bit faster. But again my
-
tip is - take your time at first and really get the feel for that sound.
-
Next we're going to move to that long o and to do this your mouth opens wide and then
-
it puckers. Your tongue tip will be down low and then it'll move to about the middle of the mouth.
-
And then end by touching the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth nor that n,
-
air moves out of your nose. Let's put it all together and go slowly at first
-
throne thrown throne
-
throne thrown throne throne thrown throne
-
And now for a sentence; The queen had thrown her crown on the throne.
-
Give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference. If you found this
-
