Word Bank
– increases as each letter sound is taught

Some words are underlined. These words tend to give an inaccurate
pronunciation. However, the pronunciations are so close that the children
are able to 'tweak' them and read them, especially if the words are in their
vocabulary. Initially it is sensible to make sure the children know how to
blend the words that are not underlined before using the underlined ones.

The underlined words fall into different types, such as:-

• as, resist, is etc. – the /s/ sound is more like a light /z/ sound
• pasta, lemon, attack, packet etc. – in many words a vowel is not
always pronounced accurately and makes an /uh/ type of sound.
This is known as a schwa. Sometimes it can even sound a bit like a
different vowel, as in packet /pacit/. This causes few problems with
reading but makes spelling much harder.
• ink, tank, sunk etc. – the <nk> is pronounced /ngk/ - there are few
problems for reading and the spelling difficulties can be overcome
by teaching the children to write <nk > when they hear /ngk/, and
learn the odd one that does not follow this advice, such as 'uncle' .
• sense, sneeze, mouse, cassette, opposite etc. – the <e> on the end
gives no sound but the word can be heard after blending the letter
sounds that come before the <e>.
• apple, kennel, devil, royal, cheerful etc. – these all have an /l/ sound
at the end. The children cope well for reading but have to
remember which alternative to use for spelling.
• catch, pitch, hutch etc. – the <t> is not pronounced.
• doctor, collar, - the <or> and <ar> have an /er/ sound. Again
spelling is more of a problem than reading.
• salt, alter, walrus etc. – the <al> gives an /or/ sound but the <l> is
also pronounced.
• bold, told, sold etc. – the <o> is not a /o/ or an /oa/. It is in-between
these two sounds and only becomes more difficult when spelling.
• blue, grew, rude etc. – have an /oo/ sound rather than a /ue/ sound.
• fast, class, path etc. – children with a northern accent have no
problems with these words. In the south the words are pronounced
with an /ar/ sound. Most southern children can 'tweak' the
pronunciation and cope well with these words, especially when it
has been explained in class.
