SOUND AND WORD DRILLS

AFTER THE BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS, BE SURE TO LISTEN AND REPEAT EVERY SOUND, WORD, AND SENTENCE YOU HEAR OUT LOUD. THERE ARE MANY SOUNDS INCLUDED FOR YOU TO TRY. EITHER START WITH ONE THAT IS CHALLENGING FOR YOU, OR START WITH A SOUND YOU ALREADY KNOW WELL IN ORDER TO GET USED TO THE DRILLS.

SPELLING VIDEOS

SPELLING CAN BE QUITE A CHALLENGE FOR MANY LEARNERS. THERE IS A BASIC RULE FOR THE TEN COMMON SHORT AND LONG VOWEL SOUNDS. BUT, LIKE MANY RULES, THERE ARE ALSO A GOOD NUMBER OF EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES. AT THE END OF EACH SPELLING VIDEO THERE IS A SHORT SENTENCE YOU CAN MEMORIZE TO REMIND YOU OF SOME OF THE EXCEPTIONS FOR EACH SOUND.

IPA PUZZLES

THESE PUZZLES CAN BE A FUN WAY TO LEARN OR REVIEW THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET (IPA). THERE ARE OTHER RESOURCES IN THE LEARNING CENTER TO HELP YOU LEARN THE IPA AS WELL. YOU’LL NOTICE THAT MANY OF THE CONSONANT SOUNDS LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THE CORRESPONDING LETTERS THAT USUALLY MAKE THEIR SOUNDS.
