Pronunciation Perfected A-Z Letter A

The pupil and teacher, or friend, can go through the alphabet pronouncing each letter. Then read aloud a newspaper or even an online article. Underline or highlight difficult words. Check pronunciation with online dictionaries which have a sound icon.  Repeat  each sound at least three times to practise. A few examples:

1) A
Right - Say: Bay, Day, Gay, Hey!, Jay, Kay, Lay, May, Neigh, Pay, Ray, Way.
Give way, today.
Practise: The boy sat on the bay. We saw the boy sit on the bay. We waved hello and goodbye.

Wrong: Don't say oi for ay.
Don't say the boy sat on the boy. The boy sat on the boy window.
It should be the boy sat in the bay.
Let's end with the correct version so that one stays in your memory. The boy sat on the bay window seat.
