Information Helpful Hints for Blending Helpful Hints for Blending - Sue Lloyd, author of Jolly Phonics If the short vowel does not sound right, try the long one. This works with regular and irregular words eg he, be, me, blind, mind, apron, able, emu, item, o’clock. If the letter c is followed by the vowels ‘e, i or y’, the sound is usually softened to ‘s’ as in face, dance and Nancy. If the letter g is followed by the vowels ‘e, i or y’, the sound is usually softened to ‘j’ as in gym, giant and podgy.
When blending a ‘y’ which is not the first letter in the word, first try the short ‘i’ and if that doesn’t work, try the long ‘i’. Advice on ‘tweaking’ the sounds in a word: When we blend sounds to make a word, we often have to ‘tweak’ the sounds in order to pronounce the word properly. However, the pronunciations are so close that children are usually able to read the words, especially if they are in their vocabulary. Here are some common examples:. as, resist, is etc. – the /s/ sound is more like a light /z/ sound.
pasta, lemon, attack, packet etc. – in many words a vowel is not always pronounced accurately and makes an /uh/ type of sound.
This is known as a schwa. Sometimes it can even sound a bit like a different vowel, as in packet /pacit/. This causes few problems with reading but makes spelling much harder. ink, tank, sunk etc.
– the is pronounced /ngk/ - there are few problems for reading and the spelling difficulties can be overcome by teaching the children to write when they hear /ngk/, and learn the odd one that does not follow this advice, such as 'uncle'. sense, sneeze, mouse, cassette, opposite etc. – the on the end gives no sound but the word can be heard after blending the letter sounds that come before the. apple, kennel, devil, royal, cheerful etc. – these all have an /l/ sound at the end. The children cope well for reading but have to remember which alternative to use for spelling.
catch, pitch, hutch etc. – the is not pronounced. doctor, collar, - the and have an /er/ sound. Again spelling is more of a problem than reading. salt, alter, walrus etc. – the gives an /or/ sound but the is also pronounced.
bold, told, sold etc. – the is not a /o/ or an /oa/. It is in-between these two sounds and only becomes more difficult when spelling. blue, grew, rude etc. – have an /oo/ sound rather than a /ue/ sound. fast, class, path etc. – children who pronounce these words with an /a/ sound have no problems.
Those who pronounce the words with an /ar/ sound can usually ‘tweak’ the pronunciation and cope well with these words, especially when it has been explained to them. By Deslea Konza 4.
FAQ When should I use c, k and ck? I am looking at when to use c, k and ck. I have found the rules on when to use ck and k at the end of words but are there any guidelines on when to use c or k at the beginning of words?
- Jan Polkinghorne accredited Jolly Phonics Trainer The way I do it is to pull out a dictionary, get students to compare the number of pages of words starting with c to those starting with k. The c pages far exceed the k pages so the general rule of thumb is if you don’t know for sure use c not k because it is far more common. You can further refine this later if you want but I wouldn’t to begin with. The letter k is substituted for c if /k/ is followed by an e, i, or y.
– kin, sketch, kind, keep but there are exceptions like kangaroo. This approach later leads into the use of hard c soft c where c followed by e/i/y makes a ‘s’ sound not a “k” sound.
But for the receptions I would keep it simple. Study guide for management science. One good activity is to let them search for “k” sound words and keep a list of those beginning with c and those beginning with k. Games / Activities Bottle Top Letters Bottle Top Letters are designed for those who are using bottle tops with letters on to build words. (Instructions) (Letters you can print for your bottle tops) (Letters you can print for your bottle tops) - Jan Polkinghorne accredited Jolly Phonics Trainer Word Sorts (Reception and above) A word sort activity involves sorting words into categories. The student is given a master sheet with category headings and a sheet of words that have several types of contrasting sounds, spelling patterns or meanings. The student cuts out the words and sorts them into the given categories. They then examine the words in each category and create a ‘rule’ or generalisation.
For every rule, there are exceptions. Word sort activities call these words “odd bods”. Students should be encouraged to find out why a word does not fit the pattern or generalisation.
