Practice saying the words which show the four spellings of l on slide 6.
Write ten common one-syllable English words ending in l.
Write five phrases with ‘I’ll’ + a vowel sound, then five with ‘I’ll’ + a consonant sound. Practice saying them out loud. Try the phrases with all the other pronouns, i.e., ‘You’ll’, ‘He’ll’, ‘She’ll, ‘It’ll’, ‘We’ll’, ‘They’ll’.
Write words ending in suffixes with l, e.g. ‘animal’. Practice saying them in CC connections, e.g., ‘animal jumped’. Make short sentences, e.g. ‘The animal jumped into the bushes.’ Say them out loud.
Practice saying the words ending with l on slides 8-9 out loud. Can you add any more examples to each group?
Use the words on slides 8-9 to create new phrases with CV and CC connections, e.g., ‘tell a’ / ‘tell me’. Practice saying them out loud, moving forward l in CV connections and letting it remain in CC connections. Put your phrases into whole sentences and practice saying them out loud.
Focus on the words with ‘-lle’ spelling on slide 9. Do you know all these words? Check the meaning of any new words. Practice saying them out loud.
Practice saying the phrases on slide 10 out loud. Focus on moving l forward. Try to imagine longer sentences based around these phrases, e.g. ‘Don’t fall over in the middle of the street.’ Say them out loud.
Practice saying the phrases on slide 11 out loud. Focus on letting l remain as a friendly consonant sound in the CC connections. Try to imagine longer sentences based around these phrases, e.g. ‘I was carrying around my school bag all day.’ Say them out loud.
Record yourself saying phrases and/or sentences with l in both CV and CC connections. Slow down the recording and listen to the sound connections. Check your pronunciation.
Write ten sentences with CV connections where ng meets a vowel sound, e.g. ‘staying out’, then ten sentences with CC connections where ng meets a consonant sound, e.g. ‘getting ready’. Is there any difference for you? Is it comfortable to let ng remain in both kinds of connection?
