surprise hi it's Jennifer and Claire and we are here to start off our 15 days of 15 free
lessons to celebrate 15 years at Tarle Speech and language so our word today is
surprise and to say this word correctly we're going to think about two syllables
we're gonna start with sa with that schwa sound that short uh sa and then
we're going to end with prize PR i z prize so would you do this lips together
your tongue is ready for the R while you have your lips together tongue is
either pointing down or flip back just do not touch your teeth and then when
you open your lips you're gonna make them into a square tense shape and
that's going to help you say the R pr pr pr and then you're gonna move to the I and
you're gonna do that by opening wide and then smiling and end with the Z zzz to do
this your tongue is not touching your teeth the tip of your tongue is either
down or right behind your top front teeth and the air is going to keep
moving while your voice box is on surprise surprise I do hear people
saying surprise but because so many of my students struggle with the R sound I
say just skip it and say sa prize surprise now you may be asking what if I
add the e D or the s to these words so if you're going to do
that all we're going to do is add a D sound to surprised and to do that say the
Z and then touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth for
the D then if you add an S the suffix s we are actually going to say is an add
an entirely new syllable sa prizes so let's try those all surprise surprised
surprises so we just want to say thank you all for all of your support
