Hey everyone it's jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday. These are homophones - they
are pronounced exactly the same way, they just have different meanings and different spellings.
So our words today are pole and that is a rod
or either end of locations like the north and the south pole and then poll a record of a vote.
So to say these words correctly we're going to start with that p
sound - put your lips together and let them open up, air puffs out.
Next we're going to move to that long o sound - to do that your mouth is going to open
in a wide oval shape, tip of your tongue is low, back of the tongue is pulled up.
o; and then we're going to move to a pucker. As you pucker your tongue is going to move along as
you close your mouth and it'll end in the middle of your mouth. There it's not touching the teeth.
Then we're going to end with an l and to do this you're going to touch the tip of your tongue
to the back of your top front teeth.
poll poll poll
I am going to give you one little extra tip here
some of my students really have trouble with l at the end of the word, especially
when an o sound is right before it, this is oftentimes because the lips remained
puckered - you do not want to have puckered lips for that l sound it's oolll not it's llll
You can see my lips are pulled back a bit so again to do that it'll be ol
poll poll poll
And now for a sentence: The neighborhood poll asked everyone to vote on the color
for the flagpoles.
Give it a try i know people are going to notice the difference. If you found this helpful please
share us with your friends and give us a like thanks everyone have a great week!
