Today

Second day on the same lesson — p.11, letters and their sounds in isolation. Do not re-teach it. Re-run the column and go at whatever the children were not accurate on yesterday.

The one thing

voice ON
/r/ · r

Curl your tongue tip up and back, and do NOT let it touch anything. Round your lips a little. Voice on — rrrr.

They check it: Mirror: lips a bit round, tongue not touching. If it touches, you get /l/ or a tapped r.

Not in Somali, Arabic, Urdu. For those children this is a new physical skill, not a reminder. Do not let the column start until the mouth can make it.

Watch for

/l/, and the rolled or tapped r of Arabic, Somali and Urdu — all three roll it. English does not.
