remained as t was , greatly diminished the transparency of English spelling in relation to pronunciation. The result is that English spelling patterns vary considerably in the degree to which they follow rules. For example, the letters ee almost always represent /i□/but the sound can also be represented by the letters I and y. Similarly , the letter cluster ought represents /□,f / as in enough , / o□/ as in though , / u □ / as in through, □ f / as in cough , / a □ as in bough , /□□/ as in bought , and / □ p / as in hiccough , while in slough and ought , the pronunciation varies . Although the patterns are inconsistent, when English spelling rules take into account syllable structure, phonetics , etymology and accents, there are dozens of …show more content…
The ai in sail is a vowel digraph. Because the first letter in a vowel digraph sometimes says its long vowel sound , as in sail , some phonics programs once taught that " when two vowels go walking , the first one does the talking ". This convention has been almost universally discarded, owing to the many non examples . The au spelling of the / □□ / sound and the oo spelling of the / u □ / and / □ / sound do not follow this pattern,
• Vowel – consonant- E spellings are those wherein a single bowel letter, followed by a consonant and the letter e makes the long vowel sound. The tendency is often referred to as the " Silent – e Rule " , with examples such as bake , theme , hike , cone , and cute . ( The ee spelling, as in meet is sometimes, but inconsistently, considered part of this pattern)
• R- controlled syllables include those wherein a vowel followed by an r has a different sound from its regular pattern. For example, a word like car should have the pattern of a " closed syllable " because it has one vowel and ends in a consonant. However , the a in car does not have its regular "short" sound ( / æ / as in cat ) because it is controlled by the r. The r changes the sound of the vowel that precedes it . Other examples include : park , horn , her , bird , and burn

The most common consonant digraphs are ch for / t □ / , ng for / η, ph for / f / , sh for / □ / , th for / θ / and δ / . Letter combinations like wr for / r / and kn for / n / are technically also consonant digraphs , although they are so rare that they are sometimes considered patterns with " silent letters " .
• Short vowel + consonant patterns involve the spelling of the sounds / k / as in peek , / d □ / as in stage , and / t □ / as in speech . These sounds each have two possible spellings at the end of a word , ck and k for / k / dge and ge for / d □ /, and tch and ch for / t □ /. The spelling is deter mined by the type of vowel that precedes the sound . If a short vowel precedes the sound , the former spelling is used , as in pick , judge , and match . If a short vowel does not precede the sound , the latter spelling is used, as in took, barge , and launch . These patterns are jut a few examples out of dozens that can be used to help children unpack the challenging English alphabetic code. While complex, English spelling does retain order and reason .

For instance, Kelley employs words like “deafening” and “violating” in her speech. The speaker wants the
This rhyme happens when; “Catch? I don’t think so.. ""... —oh joy—actually scared.” (Doty 2).
Next, there are consonants: among them are
Ava shows strength in her use of phonics skills, specifically when decoding words containing diphthongs, r-controlled vowels, vowel digraphs, and words with silent final e. This is evident when Ava decodes the word near, which contains the vowel digraph “ea,” the word out, which contains the diphthong “ou,” and the r-controlled vowel “u” in the word turtles. Ava is also able to decode words ending in silent e as in the words like and lake.
The Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System is an assessment developed for students of grade levels 1-12 which will demonstrate students’ English proficiency. It is federally mandatory for English Language learnings to take this assessment to find out the annual progress that the English Language Learner students make in the English Language. The Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment began after the Reading Proficiency Tests in English also known as (RPTE) needed federal requirements for also functioning for other grade levels and language domains. The Reading Proficiency Tests in English were created in 1999-2000 for English Language Learners that were in the third grade to the twelve grade. The Reading Proficiency Tests
There are many in here, but I think my favorite is her name. The name “Birdie” alone can be two different types of literary devices. The first is imagery. This is a possible option because all she wants to do is fly. Birds fly, so it shows a direct comparison of Birdie to an actual bird.
phonetic alphabet was created by The wooden people vs. Creek Myth, “a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon.” (Now that is a dictionary version of what myth is and it makes it seem like myths are just stories that people made in the past and believed in.) Although most myths were made to explain the world around people, myths also have themes or lessons in them that can teach people lots of things even in today’s societies.
The three basis vowels in Choctaw are: a, I, and o. The letter “a” is pronounced like the “a” in the English word father. The letter “I” is pronounced the same as the “I” in the English word big. Finally the letter “o” is pronounced like the letter “o” in the English word go It seems as though there are three different pronunciations of these vowels: a nasal pronunciation, and also short and long pronunciations. In the simplest of Choctaw sentences, such as “o̱batok” (it rained) the endings imply the subject, either it/we/he/she/us/ect. However in more complex sentences the subject always precede the verb ex.
On the other hand, Sally, who is a native born British Speaker, omits the “r” and extends the open-mid, back vowel (line 12). The same goes for the word “what” in which Sally omitted the letter “t” in the word “what” (line 8), which compared to American English speakers, there is no omitting of the “t.” That is why I sounded weird trying to imitate her pronunciation of the word (on the recording my intonation was slightly higher than Sally’s). This is interesting because similar results – the omitting of t’s within British English – has been observed in other research papers such as “Drilling Down to the Grain in Superdiveristy” from Ben Rampton (2015). Witnessing that evidence that has been pointed out in other articles was intriguing.
Lynsie and I went to Washington Irving Elementary School every Thursday this semester from 8:45 until 9:45 in the mornings. While at the school, we worked with a first-grade student named Reid. The first two weeks at the school, we spent time getting to know Reid and testing him using the Informal Reading Inventory. We used this test to see what we needed to work on with him to help him master each area.
The sound system is more complex and inconsistent in English than in other languages. There are more than 40 different phonemes in spoken English, and there can be a number of different phonemes to represent the same sound (for example, f and ph'). Phonics helps us to look at the different letter patterns together, along with their sounds. Synthetic phonics puts the teaching of letters and sounds into an orderly framework. It requires the reader to learn simpler individual sounds first, then start to put them together to form words, and finally progress to the most complex combinations.
Differences between Polish and English grammar It is the common knowledge that Polish language is no doubts one of the most difficult languages to learn. I have heard many reason why people find it difficult but most of them focus on the grammatical part of the language. First difference between Polish and English language is an alphabet. Polish alphabet contains 32 letters: a ą b c ć d e ę f g h i j k l ł m n ń o ó p r s ś t u w y z ź ż When we learn polish alphabet we use the names to remember the letters e.g. A for Adam, B for Beata, C for Cecylia. English alphabet contains only 26 letters and is based on the Latin alphabet: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z. Letters
Therefore, Dr. Giselle is able to provide an adequate analysis of the research data. Stephanie L. Hensel is a researcher in the Department of Education at the University of Michigan with an expertise in phonology, morphology, and sociolinguistics. The audience of the article is likely people who are interested in the field of sociolinguistics, particularly AAE. Overall, the article is more informative that
An individual with a reading disability demonstrates difficulties in reading skills that are unexpected in relation to age, cognitive ability, quantity and quality of instruction, and intervention. The reading difficulties are not the result of generalized developmental delay or sensory impairment (Lundberg, I., & Hoien, T. , 2001) Reading disability may be categorized by: difficulties in • single word reading • decoding or sounding out words • reading sight words • phonological processing • receptive language ; and • comprehension The processing difficulties may also be exposed in spelling and writing. Written expression disability and mathematics disability are commonly originate in grouping with a reading disability (American Psychiatric
Standardization of the English Language English was not the original indigenous language of Britain. The first arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain, the inhabitants of the country spoke Celtic languages. Yet English shows few dialects brought by the Germanic invaders. Nor was the subsequent growth of English within Britain a smooth or inevitable trajectory. After the Norman invasion, English was not the first language of the ruling classes.
