Objective: Distinguishing between the long I sound and the Short I sound
- Choose the long I sound and the Short I sound.
- Learn the patterns and rules for the long I sound and for the short I sound.
- Select a word. In this example, when you click on the word bite, the program will automatically select the word bit.
- You can press 1, 2, or 3 to play the word bite, bit, or boot respectively. You can press the space bar to play the long I sound or the
short I sound depending on which list box is selected.
Now if you learn the words mite and mitt, you shall apply the pattern to
know that the letter I in mite is pronounced as the long I sound and that in
mitt is pronounced as the short I sound.
- In the following example, you learn the IGHT pattern that the letter I
is pronounced as the long I sound and the GH is silent.
- When you click on the word height, the program will
automatically select the word hit.
- You can press 1, 2, or 3 to play the word height, hit, or heart respectively. You can press the space bar to play the long I sound or the
short I sound depending on which list box is selected.
Now if you learn the words blight, you shall apply the IGHT pattern to
know that the letter I in blight is pronounced as the long I sound and the letter
GH is silent.
Tip from Xin: I often mispronounced the words aisle, island, isle, and islet because I read
them as they are spelled. Once I realized that the silent letter S, I have no
trouble pronouncing them. For the word aisle, just remember it as I'll. Try it.
