We have two words that are homophones.  These words are spelled differently,  

they have different meanings, but they are  pronounced exactly the same way. Our words today  

are why the cause or reason, a question word. And Y the letter.

So to say these words correctly, two  sounds. We're gonna start with that w.  

To do that you are going to pucker your  lips and the air is going to move out.  

Your tongue is just flat in the middle of your  mouth. Your tongue is not touching your teeth.

Then we are going to move to that I.  

To do this think of opening your  mouth in a wide oval shape. I

And then move to smiling lips. When you do  this the tip of your tongue is going to start  

really low in your mouth and the  back of your tongue is pulled  

high up towards the roof of your mouth. Then when  you end, your tongue will be flat in your mouth,  

and behind your top front teeth. Again  it is not touching. So your tongue does  

not touch anywhere in your mouth for  this word. So let's move from to W to I

why why why why  

why why why why why

And now for a sentence!

The reason why the word was mispronounced  is because the letter y can be pronounced  

many different ways.

And that's a true story!

So give it a try people are going to notice  the difference. If you found this helpful,
