4A. Pronunciation: Sound and Spelling

1. Model: Say the sound several times while pointing to it. (For example, point to the cr and say /kr/ /kr/ /kr/ and point to cl and say /kl/ /kl/ /kl/.) Then say the sound and quickly read the entire list, pointing to each item as you read it (/kr/ cross, create, across, cry, crush). Students just watch and listen.

2. Repeat: Say the sound and each word several times, having students repeat each time after you in unison. Be sure to use your normal voice and rate of speed. Do one column at a time, top to bottom.

�3. Solo: Call on individuals to say a sound and its word group. Give lots of praise.

4. Challenge: Choose another sound from the lesson that is challenging for your particular students to pronounce. Use words from Parts 1 and 2 of the lesson, and from previous lessons to make a group of 3-5 words. You may repeat the same challenging sounds in several lessons. Students need a lot of practice on sounds that do not exist in their first language.
