sangitab
says:Hello Ma’m,
My confusion is how to teach sound of letter a in the word like , grass, fast, etc,
& on sound in wor like Monday, hear on as un & consonants here on as on ?
Robin E.
says: Customer ServiceSangitab,
Well, where are you located? For most North Americans, the A sound in grass and fast are the same sound as found in hat and gap.
However, for areas influenced more by British pronunciations, there are 5 founds for A. In British/Australian English, much the same /ah/ sound is used for words such as glass, after, bath, start, car and cart. Sometimes an R is used in the spelling and sometimes not. There is a rule for when to use the R: “If the sound of /ah/ is followed by an S, F, or TH, you do not need to use an R in the spelling.”
As for Monday, O sometimes says the short U /ŭ/ sound. There is no rule or pattern for knowing when O says the /ŭ/ sound or when it should say its short /ŏ/ sound or its long /ō/ sound. In Monday and love it says /ŭ/, but in bonnet and cove, it doesn’t. The only way to teach this is to prepare students to try the /ŭ/ for O if the other sounds don’t form a recognizable word.
I hope this helps some, but let me know if you have further questions.

Kristen
says:I love this idea! I’m not a fan of candy corn but using the candy corn to make the letter c is awesome! I think my children might like the fruit cups of candy corn, especially if there is whipped cream (although they eat yogurt!). I could see my children using the candy corn to make other letters too. Thanks for sharing!
Robin E.
says: Customer ServiceYou are welcome, Kristen. And whipped cream might make this not quite as healthy but more delicious, I think!
