While many programs and resources use the keywords umbrella and elephant or egg, we can shift those keywords to ones that elicit pure sound production as we better understand allophonic variants and sound production. In addition, when viewing mouth formations, the word up provides a more precise representation of the short u sound.
You can hear the pure /u/ sound in the word up. The short u sound is distorted due to the nasal /m/. An allophonic variation is the coarticulation of speech sound that distorts sound production. This is due to the allophonic variations in our language. We need to be mindful that the keyword is a word that elicits a pure sound. Choose a keyword that provides a clear pronunciation in isolation.We can help students recall these sounds with these tips: With this knowledge that short vowel sounds make up the majority of syllables in our language, students need to solidify their understanding of closed syllables and short vowel sound production. For some students with dyslexia, retrieval of short vowel sounds may be difficult. When we can engage more than one sense or multisensory instruction, it gives students more than one way to make connections and learn a concept. This week, I'm sharing some tips for teaching short vowel sounds.Ĭlosed syllables, a syllable with one vowel followed by one or more consonants, make up almost half of all syllable types. If this is the case for your students, keep reading. Some students may also struggle with phonological processing, have speech sound errors, sound substitutions, omit sounds, add sounds, or distort sounds. Some children may find sound discrimination tricky, and others may struggle with recalling the sounds when given a letter representation. This may occur for several different reasons. Many children will confuse vowel sounds in phonology work, reading, spelling, and sometimes running speech. If you work with early learners or dyslexic learners, you may need a great deal of practice with short vowel sound production. This week, I'm sharing a short video with quick tips for helping your students remember short vowel sounds.Ĭlearing Up Short Vowel Sounds with Movement Cues
