This document lists common short vowel sounds and example words to demonstrate each sound: a as in apple, i as in igloo, o as in octopus, u as in umbrella, and e as in echo.
This document provides examples of words containing the short "i" vowel sound and long "i" vowel sound. For the short "i" sound, examples include lip, pin, lick, pink, pig, six, slip, and spill. For the long "i" sound, examples include fire, kite, bite, pine, drive, lime, pipe, cry, and shy. The document is intended to teach the difference between these two vowel sounds through examples.
This document provides descriptions of 5 vowel sounds in English: /æ/, /а/, /Ͻ/, /Ɛ/, and /e/. For each vowel sound, it explains how to produce the sound in the mouth and provides example words and sentences containing that sound. It also contrasts the sounds /æ/ and /а/ and /Ɛ/ and /e/ to highlight the differences between similar vowel pairs.
This document provides examples of words containing short vowel sounds to help English language learners in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade practice pronunciation. It lists words containing short a, e, i, o, and u sounds such as bathroom, apples, matter, desk, exit, window, dictionary, soccer, clock, cup, and bunny. The examples are intended to help students learn to properly pronounce words with short vowel sounds.
Vowels are speech sounds made with an open vocal tract so that air flows freely through the mouth without any build-up of pressure. The document discusses several phonetic characteristics that are used to classify vowels:
The vertical position of the tongue defines seven degrees of vowel height from close to open. The horizontal position defines five degrees of backness from front to back. Roundedness refers to whether the lips are rounded or spread during articulation, with front vowels tending to be unrounded and back vowels rounded. Vowels are also classified as lax or tense based on the tensing of the muscles, with lax vowels being shorter.
The document provides instructions on producing the /æ/ sound:
1. To produce the /æ/ sound, the tip of the tongue is slightly upward above the lower front teeth while the lips are widely opened and stretched upward.
2. The /æ/ sound is voiced with no vibration, and it occurs in initial and medial positions of words.
3. Several examples of words containing the /æ/ sound are provided, along with notes on silent letters that can precede the /æ/ sound.
The root of a word is its basic structure without prefixes or suffixes. Roots can have three types of affixes added: prefixes are attached before the root, suffixes are attached after the root, and infixes are attached within the root. Roots are the core part of words and affixes can be added to derive new words or forms from the root.

The document discusses the short /e/ and /æ/ vowel sounds in English. It provides examples of words containing each sound, such as "egg" and "cat". It then examines the pronunciation of these two sounds in more detail, linking to dictionary entries for the words "egg" and "cat" to demonstrate how to form the vowel sounds with the mouth and tongue. The purpose is to help readers learn and distinguish between the short /e/ and /æ/ sounds in English pronunciation.
The circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen, hormones and other materials to cells throughout the body, and carries away waste. It has four major parts - the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins. The respiratory system interacts with the circulatory system to deliver oxygen to cells. Circulatory diseases are common in the US, killing over 2,400 people daily, so it is important to maintain a healthy heart and flexible blood vessels.
This lesson plan focuses on teaching short vowel sounds "o" and "u" using Dr. Seuss' book "Hop on Pop". Students will identify rhyming words in the story, distinguish between the short vowel sounds, produce rhyming words, and sort pictures into rhyming word families. The lesson introduces activities by reading the book aloud, identifying rhyming words on selected pages, writing example rhyming word pairs on the board, and having students clap out the rhyming patterns in words. Students are then assessed by coloring, cutting out, and pairing rhyming pictures from a worksheet.
This document discusses root words, prefixes, and suffixes. It explains that root words are the basic words that can have prefixes added to the beginning or suffixes added to the end to change the meaning. Prefixes and suffixes are groups of letters that are added to root words. Common prefixes discussed include "un", "mis", "sub", and "pre", along with their meanings. Examples are given of how prefixes change the meaning of words. Suffixes are also explained as changing the meaning when added to the end of words. Some common suffixes and their meanings are outlined such as "-s", "-ing", "-er", and "-ful".
The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide through a series of organs including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. Air enters the nose and mouth, and is transported through the respiratory tract to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs through diffusion. The diaphragm and rib muscles work together to inhale and exhale air during breathing.
The document discusses common problems with English vowel and consonant spelling, including:
- English has more vowel sounds than letters to represent them
- Vowel letters can represent long or short vowel sounds
- Consonant substitutions often involve replacing voiced sounds with unvoiced ones
It provides examples of rules for determining long and short vowel sounds based on spelling, and discusses how consonants like /θ/ and /ð/ can be confused with /t/ and /d/. The differences between consonants like /ʒ/ and /j/ are also outlined.
This document discusses several key concepts relating to pronunciation in the English language:
1. It describes the sound system of English including phonemes, the International Phonetic Alphabet, pronunciation difficulties from a learner's first language, and challenging English sounds.
2. It explains features of English prosody like stressed and unstressed syllables, rhythm, and sentence stress and how they can be difficult for English language learners.
3. Intonation patterns in English are outlined as well as their purposes and challenges for ELLs.
4. Guidelines are provided for teaching pronunciation to English learners at different ages and language proficiency levels.
The document is a quiz about identifying the meanings of root words based on how they are used in example words. It contains multiple choice questions asking the learner to determine what common root words like "ped", "inter", "fer", and "bio" mean based on related vocabulary words. The quiz covers a wide range of Latin and Greek root words frequently seen in English.
The document discusses key concepts in phonetics and phonology. It begins by explaining that English spelling does not always match sounds. It then defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds and their characteristics. The basic unit in phonetics is the phone, while the basic unit in phonology is the phoneme. It describes the International Phonetic Alphabet and how it is used to accurately transcribe sounds. The document also discusses phonetic concepts like manner and place of articulation, as well as the differences between vowels and consonants.
The document discusses the evolution of instructional materials and teaching methods from traditional to digital. It notes that 30 years ago, cognitive research was separate from education but now researchers work directly with teachers. Traditionally, teaching centered on lectures but now emphasizes active student participation. With the rise of technology, students have changed and think differently, requiring new digital teaching methods that engage digital natives. Teachers must immerse themselves in students' digital world to make learning relevant. While technology is a tool, teachers are still the most important factor for bringing it into the classroom effectively.
The circulatory system transports blood, nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and wastes throughout the body using the heart, blood and blood vessels. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood received from the lungs into the arteries and oxygen-poor blood back to the lungs via the veins. Blood is transported through a network of arteries, veins and capillaries that connect all body tissues and organs. The circulatory system allows for gas and nutrient exchange between blood and body cells.
The document discusses the classification of sounds in General American English. It is divided into three main sections: vowels, diphthongs, and consonants. For vowels, it describes their production and lists the 11 vowel sounds. For diphthongs, it explains their blending quality and lists the 3 diphthong sounds. For consonants, it classifies them by voicing, manner of articulation, and point of articulation, listing the various consonant sounds in each category.
This document provides an overview of phonetics and its subfields. It defines phonetics as the study of sounds and their production in language. The three main subfields are articulatory phonetics, which studies speech production using the organs of speech; acoustic phonetics, which deals with the acoustic aspects of sounds; and auditory phonetics, which concerns the hearing of speech sounds. It then provides details on the organs of speech involved in sound production, such as the lips, teeth, tongue, alveolar ridge, hard palate, velum, uvula, and glottis.
This document defines the key elements of a short story, including setting, characterization, plot, conflict, climax, resolution, theme, and point of view. It explains that a short story tells about a single event, is fictional, and is between 500 to 15,000 words long with a beginning, middle, and end. It also provides definitions for each element and examples of how authors use them to engage readers.
The human circulatory system consists of three main parts - the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added. The blood is then pumped throughout the body via arteries, veins, and capillaries to supply oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste before returning to the heart to restart the cycle.
The document discusses different types of instructional materials that can be used to aid in the transfer of information from teachers to students. It describes instructional materials as including power point presentations, books, articles and materials for projects. It then discusses the roles instructional materials can play in mass instruction, individualized learning and group learning. The document goes on to classify instructional materials into four main types: printed and duplicated materials, non-projected display materials, still projected display materials, and technological instructional media. It provides examples for each type of material.
This document summarizes common English suffixes and their usage:
1. To make nouns plural, usually add 's' or 'es' depending on whether the word ends in s, sh, ch, x, or z. Words ending in 'y' after a consonant change to 'ies'.
2. The suffix 'ed' is used for past tense verbs and can be pronounced as either /t/ or /d/ depending on the preceding sound.
3. The suffix 'ly' turns adjectives into adverbs, with some exceptions for words ending in 'l', 'c-le', or consonant + 'y'.
The document outlines three rules for adding vowel suffixes to words in English:
1. The 111 Doubling Rule specifies doubling the final consonant before adding a suffix if a one-syllable word ends in one consonant after one vowel.
2. The 211 Doubling Rule specifies doubling the final consonant before adding a suffix if a multi-syllable word with accent on last syllable ends in one consonant after one vowel.
3. The Silent e Rule specifies dropping the final silent e before adding a suffix.
Several common vowel suffixes and example words applying the rules are provided.
This document discusses phonograms, which are groups of letters that make a single sound. It provides examples of common English digraphs like "ch", "ck", "qu", "ph", "sh", "tch", "th", and "wh" and demonstrates each with a word where it is used, such as "chin", "black", "queen", "phone", and "whistle". The document also mentions counting phonemes in words and naming syllable types.
Certain consonants in English have multiple pronunciations depending on their position in a word. The consonants c, g, and s can each have two different sounds. C makes a /k/ sound except when followed by e, i, or y, when it makes an /s/ sound. G makes a /g/ sound except before e, i, or y, when it makes a /j/ sound. S makes an /s/ sound initially or between consonants, but a /z/ sound between vowels or at the end of words, including in plurals and possessives.
This document provides guidelines for syllable division in words. It discusses dividing one syllable words, compound words, words with consonants between vowels following patterns like VCCV and VC/CV, words with prefixes or suffixes, and a process for dividing words systematically. Key points are that one syllable words are never divided, compound words are divided between the compound elements, and words are typically divided according to patterns involving vowels and consonants or between affixes and roots.
The document outlines a spelling pattern called "Floss" for closed syllable words with short vowel sounds followed by f, l, or s. According to the pattern, these consonants should be doubled to accurately spell one-syllable words like staff, small, knell, and glass. There are exceptions for common words like pal and words where the consonant sounds differ, such as is and of.
The document discusses the short /e/ and /æ/ vowel sounds in English. It provides examples of words containing each sound, such as "egg" and "cat".

There are different types of syllables that determine the sound of vowels: closed syllables end in a consonant and have a short vowel sound, open syllables end in a vowel and may have a long vowel sound, silent-e syllables end in a vowel plus e and have a long vowel sound, vowel teams have two adjacent vowels or a vowel paired with a consonant that make one sound, r-controlled syllables have an r that changes the vowel sound, and consonant-le syllables end in a consonant plus le but the e is silent. Understanding syllable types helps with reading, spelling, and sounding out words.
This document discusses the spelling rules for the /k/ sound in English words. It states that the /k/ sound is generally spelled with c at the beginning or middle of words. At the end of words, /k/ is spelled with ke after long vowels, ck after short vowels, and k after short vowels followed by a consonant. It provides examples that illustrate each spelling rule.
A word family is a small group of words that share a letter pattern changing the vowel sound. The document discusses several word families including "-all" where the a sounds like /au/, "-nk" and "-ng" with specific example words, and "-old" where the vowels sound long. The "-ain" family is smaller and the ain sounds like /en/.
