Hey there!
Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday homophone lesson.
Homophones are words that are pronounced exactly the same way bu they have different spellings and different meanings.
We have
ring which is a band worn on the finger or a sound from a bell strike and
wring to twist
To say these words correctly we have three sounds. We have a silent letter here. This w is going to be silent. So let’s start with that r sound er.
If you watch my videos you know for the r sound the back of your tongue is pulled way high up. You have a choice with the tip of your tongue it can be either pointed down or flipped back. It’s just not touching the teeth and it does not move. If you struggle with the sound, think about square tense lips, you don’t want your lips to be too relaxed, and you don’t want your lips to be too puckered, that will then sound incorrect. So you want to just have nice square tense lips.
Then we’re going to move to that short i sound and when you do this the tip of your tongue is just at the base of your top top front teeth right there. You can see my lips are relaxed and my mouth is open.
And then we’re going to move to that n g sound. That’s two letters that stand for one sound. The ng sound. To make this sound the tip of your tongue is low, the back of your tongue is pulled way high up, and the air is going to move out of your nose. ng ng ng
So we have r-i-ng
ring wring ring wring ring wring ring wring
And now for a sentence
I remove my ring when I need to wring out the laundry.
