Online phonetics resources Page maintained by Jennifer Smith ( Last revision and link check: August 2016 This is a list of web sites that might be useful in an introductory phonetics course for classroom demos or homework assignments; most of these sites include audio, images, or interactive material. The list began in 2000 with some of the phonetics resources compiled by Karen Steffen Chung (see LINGUIST List posts 11.1812, 11.1869, and 11.1964).

Adrian’s Pron Chart Blog | Practical discovery of English pronunciation Jolly Phonics Makes Learning Easy In Jolly Phonics the 42 main sounds of English are taught... not just the letters of the alphabet. Each sound has an action which helps children remember the letter that represents it. As the child becomes more confident the actions are no longer necessary. Improves Children's Confidence Jolly Phonics gives children a great deal of confidence and with the tools they learn they become independent in their reading and writing much sooner. How Does Work? Learning the letter sounds.

This resource may also be of general interest to language students on university degree courses, trainee teachers and anyone with a general interest in language science. This page uses IPA symbols - you need a Unicode font, such as Lucida Sans Unicode, installed on your computer system to see these display correctly.

Phonology is the study of the sound system of languages. For some kinds of study - perhaps a language investigation into the phonological development of young children or regional variations in accent, you will need to use phonetic transcription to be credible. So what happens?

Miss Giraffe's Class: Phonics Fluency Notebooks Phonics fluency notebooks are one of my favorite literacy activities for teaching students to read with fluency and comprehension. I love them because they are hands on and interactive and require the students to not only read, but understand, the story to complete them. These actually started out as full color fluency puzzles as a literacy center where students read it and put the events of the story in order. I was really excited by all the positive feedback I got about how much kids liked them and learned from them... but I also kept getting requests to make them in black and white for teachers to save color ink. As I was switching over all the clip art to black and white versions, it hit me that these would be awesome for our phonics notebooks! So anyway! I printed out the black and white version and they fit perfectly in our notebooks! Each reading fluency passage focuses on ONE phonics sound at a time. Students will: 2) Highlight all of the words with the phonics sound it's practicing
Phonetics: Beats and Rhythm –[Multimedia-English] One of the things that makes English difficult to understand for foreign students is its particular rhythm. Many languages are syllabic, that means that every syllable takes the same amount of time to pronounce. In some languages stressed syllables take longer than unstressed syllables, but still, the pronunciation unit is the syllable. English is different, we don't care about syllables, we don't even care about words, it's all about beats (sound units). Every beat takes the same amount of time to pronounce. But not all words are affected in the same way. 1- Content words the words with meaning (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) 2- Grammatical words words with no meaning, but they build the grammatical structure of the sentence (prepositions, articles, verb particles, pronouns, etc.) Every sound unit (beat) has a content word, which is the most important part of it. Here's an example: Hi, What were you doing when I rang an hour ago? Content words hi, doing, rang, hourStructure words

Phonetics: Names of the Vowels –[Multimedia-English] All languages have names for their letters, but not for the sounds of their vowels. Languages with a phonetic spelling (like Spanish, Swahili or Italian) use the names of the letters for the corresponding sounds, but we can't do that in English. So how can we name the English vowels if we want to talk about them? An example of what we shouldn't do is what teachers of English usually do in Spanish speaking countries (and other countries too). For example, Spanish teachers talk about "i larga" (long i) and "i corta" (short i) when they mean and . (see: pronouncing vowels). If we want students to pronounce the English vowels correctly, they must eventually forget about their native vowels and create new frames on their minds for the new sounds. ® Motion Phonics will give them the frame they need, but it is very important, from the beginning, to have a name for the vowels which creates no connections with their native vowels or the letters. The vowel
