Five Ways to Help Your Pronunciation

2. Learn long and short vowels

(to sound out new words and learn better spelling)

Long vowels: Short vowels: Your mouth is tense. Your mouth is relaxed. The name and sound are the same. The name and sound are different. (The name is E, the sound is E). (The name is E, the sound is ě). Mark with a straight line: ā. Mark with a curved line: ǎ. Spelling: (usually) 2 vowels Spellling: (usually) 1 vowel

Let's try it! 1-1 Put your hands on your face. Listen and repeat.

Long Short ā (ate) ǎ (at) ē (feel) ĕ (fell) ī (I) ĭ (it) ō (own) ŏ (on) ū (boot) ǔ (but) yū (music)

3. Use What You Learn

1. Mark the long and short vowels on new words.

2. Mark the syllable cuts and stress for long words:

3. Sound out problem words. Start in the middle, then add the front, then say the whole word: To sound out "meet": ēe mēe mēet

4. Dictionaries
