Practice 5

When people speak in everyday life, informal situations – at home, at work, with friends – they speak quickly and do not clearly pronounce every letter of every word. This is called relaxed speech. It’s important to understand relaxed speech patterns because these are mainly the patterns you will hear everyday. The story is spoken using relaxed speech.

Story Telling – Listen and repeat. 

      
Maria. Your name?

Ali
Country?

Cuba. You?
 Iraq. English class. You?
Yes. Level 1. You?

Me, too.

Spelling and Pronunciation

Listen to the sound for each letter of the English alphabet.

Sounds of the English alphabet

English spelling and pronunciation can seem complicated. That is mainly because the English alphabet has 26 letters, but many of the letters can make more than one sound. The sound depends on where the letter is in the word and on other letters near the word.

English spelling and pronunciation is VERY regular. What is important is to understand the spelling patterns that make the sounds.

English contains 5 letters that are vowels, but these letters can make 20 vowel sounds. Knowing the spelling patterns for the sounds, and the exception words that also make the sound, is the secret to understanding English spelling and pronunciation.

Listen to the sound for short a.

Sounds of Short A words

Here are some common words with this sound.

At   Bag    Back    Cat    Cab    Fast    Ask    Hat   

In the words listed, you see this spelling pattern: Vowel Consonant.

A consonant may come before the vowel “a”:

bag, back, cat, cab, fast, hat.

More than one consonant may come after the vowel “a”:

back, fast.

Practice 16

Spelling and pronunciation rules for “c” and “k”.

  1. “C” sounds like “k” before “a”, “o”, and “u”: cat, cot, cut.

 

  1. After a short vowel sound like the “a” in “cat” or “bag”, use “ck” to spell the “k” sound: back, black, pack, sack, tack, hack
