Hi everyone it’s Jennifer from Tarle speech.
And again this week for your question of the week we are working on a spelling pattern and a follow along practice.
So our spelling pattern today is g e and when you see that combination you can say the sound j and to make the j sound you’re going to:
round your lips
your voice box is on and moving
your tongue touches your teeth to start the sound and then pulls back into the middle of your mouth
Okay so let’s try some words i’m going to say it and you repeat after me:

exchange exchange

heritage heritage

language language

coverage coverage

mortgage mortgage

age age

wage wage

page page

urge urge

rage rage

sponge sponge

cage cage

village village

hinge hinge

binge binge

cabbage cabbage

leakage leakage

enlarge enlarge

sausage sausage

salvage salvage

So give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference.
Again I’m trying something new please leave your comments and thoughts in the comments section below.
