  • Hey there!

  • Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday homophone lesson.

  • Homophones are words that are pronounced exactly the same way bu they have different spellings

  • and different meanings.

  • We have ring which is a band worn on the finger or

  • a sound from a bell strike and wring to twist

  • To say these words correctly we have three sounds. We have a silent letter here. This

  • w is going to be silent. So let's start with that r sound er.

  • If you watch my videos you know for the r sound the back of your tongue is pulled way

  • high up. You have a choice with the tip of your tongue it can be either pointed down

  • or flipped back. It's just not touching the teeth and it does not move. If you struggle

  • with the sound, think about square tense lips, you don't want your lips to be too relaxed,

  • and you don't want your lips to be too puckered, that will then sound incorrect. So you want

  • to just have nice square tense lips.

  • Then we're going to move to that short i sound and when you do this the tip of your tongue

  • is just at the base of your top top front teeth right there. You can see my lips are

  • relaxed and my mouth is open.

  • And then we're going to move to that n g sound. That's two letters that stand for one sound.

  • The ng sound. To make this sound the tip of your tongue is low, the back of your tongue

  • is pulled way high up, and the air is going to move out of your nose. ng ng ng

  • So we have r-i-ng

  • ring wring ring wring ring wring ring wring

  • And now for a sentence

  • I remove my ring when I need to wring out the laundry.

  • Give it a try people are going to notice the difference!
