As we said in the previous set of worksheets, phonemes are short unique units of sound. Phonics is entirely based around the usage of these sounds. How students manipulate each phoneme to produce sounds is kind of the whole phonics thing. Sure you blending and segmentation, but it is all rooted in phonemes. These worksheets will help be able to locate the position and arrive at a solid pronunciation of various phonemes.

Steps to Take When First Pronouncing Phonemes


Teachings sounds the children might be one of the most difficult lessons to teach and to learn. This is why the process of teaching sounds is divided into many elements like vowels, consonants, and phonemes. Phonemes are elements of sound found in speech. Although phonemes are meaningless sounds, they can form words if they are pronounced together. This is just like when parents try to make their babies say their first word. They would make the sounds of "mm" for their baby to catch the starting sound of the word "mommy". It is easier to grab the concept of sounds this way. Only after mastering the first part of the word, the baby is able to say the rest half. This is how phonemes are used to create ease for children to learn and pronounce words. Here are the three steps you should take when doing these worksheets:


Instructor Says the Sound


The first step to take to make a child pronounce a phoneme is to actually teach him or her the sound itself. The instructor, teacher, or parent should take a book for reference and select a short word out of it. Then select the target phoneme. It should be the sound with which the word starts because that would be easier to guess for the child. Then say it out loud a few times.


The Learner Listens to the Sound


The child or learner should carefully listen to the sound of the phoneme. You should also give them enough time to catch the exact sound you are making. Only by observing carefully, they will be able to pronounce it right by themselves. Don't worry if you are not getting the results instantly. Constant repetitions of the phoneme will make them eventually pronounce it themselves.


Look at the Picture


While trying to pronounce the phoneme, the learner can also take help from the book. The learner can look at the picture of the word to guess the phoneme easily.
