Hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday!
It is like extra double bonus today. You have four words! These are homophones. They are
spelled differently, they have different meanings, but they are pronounced exactly the same way.
We have tease which means to comb hair to make it bigger - I did this when I was in high school!
Tease can also mean too tempt. Teas which are a variety of the hot drink. Tees are t-shirts, um
small pegs, and golf or a stand for a ball. And ts lots of the letter t.
All right here we go. We have tees, tease, ts, and teas. Three little sounds start with a t sound.
Touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth. Tongues pulls down,
air puffs out. Move to the long e - tongue is high and flat
behind the top front teeth. Nice and long, smiling lips: E.
Then keep the tongue relatively in the same spot. The tip of your tongue may point down.
It does not touch your teeth. And we are going to say that zzzzz
sound. And to do this your throat must be moving. Your voice box must be vibrating.
Let's put it all together:
tees, tease, ts, teas tees, tease, ts, teas
tease
And now for a sentence:
We wore short sleeved tees as we drank many iced teas and placed the golf tees
along the greens at t's golf course.
Give it a try people are going to notice the difference. Please share us with your friends,
give us a like if you are so inclined, and if you are looking for help check
us out at Tarle speech. Thanks so much everyone have an amazing week!
