What makes this chart special? Each sound has a separate square, the teacher or the
student can point to the square to ask students to produce that sound or recognise
which sound is being produced. The teacher might point 3 sounds to make a word or
vice versa. It can be left on the classroom wall.
There are several opportunities to play with sounds:
- to play sound bingo
- noughts and crosses
- odd man out
Working with stress
Stress is important in individual words, in phrases, in sentences. By shifting it we can
change emphasis or meaning. When students meet new words in class the teacher will
mark the stress of those words or to show where the weak vowel sounds occur in
words.
Working with intonation
We need to draw our St-s' attention to the way we use changes in pitch to convey
meaning, to reflect the thematic structure, and to convey mood.
