Tarle speech with your pronunciation  your two for Tuesday homophone lesson.

Two words, two different  spellings, two different meanings,  

pronounced exactly the same way- only one way!

Our words today, this is a request,  these are not super common words.

We have maize which is corn, a  yellow color, um or, a grass and 

maze, which is the more common word,  a confusing network of passages

Let's look at our words. All right,  so to say these words correctly,  

we're going to start with that m sound.  Lips together, air moves out of your nose.

Then we're going to move to that  long a sound, and to say that long  

a sound, open your mouth in a wide circle, tip of  the tongue is down, back of the tongue is pulled  

high up. Then move to a smile and your tongue  will move to high and flat in your mouth. a a a

Then we're going to end with that z:  z. To do this, the tip of your tongue  

is behind your top front teeth. The tip can  be either pointing down or just behind your  

top teeth. The key is do not touch your  teeth. Your voice box is on and moving.

Someone asked recently, um, should  my whole mouth be vibrating? And  

my mouth is vibrating when I say the sound.  So that is okay let's put this all together:

maize maze maze maze maze maze

And now for a sentence: 

Please hand me the maize colored  book so I can finish my maze.

Give it a try I know people are going to  notice the difference. If you found this
