(not "put chure")
--you, and you, and you. (an' Jew.)
Father will meet you (meat chew) at the station.
The leaves turned to red and gold. (red Dan gold)
"No matter what you hear, (what chew) no matter what you see,
Raggylug, don't you move." (don't chew)
Tender flowers come forth to greet her. (gree-ter)
It is not at all (a-tall) like the mother bird.
Have the pupils practice such exercises as:--
Did you? Don't you? Would you? Should you? Could you? (Not "did Jew,"
"don't chew" etc.)
Where shall I meet you? (not meat chew)
When shall I meet you?
She sells sea shells.
Pupils usually have difficulty with words ending in sts, dth, pth. Lists
of such words should be drilled upon:--
Nests, vests, posts, hosts, boasts, fists, mists, frosts, length,
breadth, depth.
"He thrusts his fists against the posts,
And still insists he sees the ghosts."
(If necessary show the pupils how to adjust the vocal organs to make the
different sounds.)
m, n, ng (nasal)
p, b, w, m (lips)
f, v (lips and teeth)
t, d, s, z, n (tongue and hard palate.)
j, ch, (tongue and hard palate-back)
k, g, ng (tongue and soft palate.)
y, l (tongue, hard palate and soft palate.)
p, b, d, t, j, k, h, g, ch (momentary)
w, f, v, s, l, r, y, th, sh (continuous)
The majority of children learn the sounds by imitation and repetition.
The above is to help the teacher in giving the sounds correctly.
SECOND YEAR
_I. Review Single and Blended Consonants, Digraphs, Short and Long
Vowels, and All Phonograms._
_II. Continue Pronouncing Exercises, Teaching New Phonograms._
Continue word study by the analytic-synthetic process. These phonic
drills will deal largely with the new words that occur in the daily
reading lessons.
_III. Syllabication._
In mastering the pronunciation of new words, pupils should acquire the
habit of analyzing them into syllables.
The ear must be trained to _hear_ syllables, they should be _separately
pronounced_, and _clearly imaged_. This makes for effective spelling
later. Most of the difficulties in spelling are removed when the habit
of breaking up a complex word into its elements is acquired.
