Hello amazing students!
It’s Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday homophone lesson.
Homophones are words that are pronounced exactly the same way. They just have different spellings and different meanings. So it’s a bogo: buy one get one free!
Our words are:
swayed which means to rock back and forth or to persuade and
suede leather with a soft surface
To say these words correctly let’s start with that s sound. To do this tip of the tongue is either pointed down or it’s behind those top front teeth. It’s not touching. Air continues out for that s sound. You can see my lips are pulled back a little tiny bit then what I’m going to do is move to a pucker for that w w.
Then I’m going to open for that long a and then move to a smile. When I open the tip of my tongue is low back of my tongue is high up. As I move to the smile my tongue is going to end high and flat in my mouth.
Then I’m going to touch the tip of my tongue to the back of my top front teeth for that d – d and pull it down while the air puffs out.
Let’s put it all together suede
suede suede suede
suede suede suede
And now for a sentence:
He could not be swayed to buy the suede jacket.
