Paragraph Practice
Ray was born in Russia. He dreamed of building the perfect roller coaster at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. He had a friend named Fred who lived in Norway. Fred’s profession was designing railroad tracks and his career involved traveling all around the world. Ray thought it would be perfect if Fred designed his roller coaster ride. Fred was creative, brilliant and worked well with railroad tracks. He would be the perfect engineer for the project. The ride took two years to construct and was painted red and white. Everyone really wanted to ride the brand-new roller coaster.
Session Two
1. Voicing
2. Consonant pairs
3. Consonant S
4. Consonant Z Voicing
Voicing is when your vocal cords are vibrating in your throat, creating a buzzing sound. Say Ahhhh. Can you feel the vibrations in your neck? All vowels are voiced. Some consonants are voiced, some are not.
Paired Consonants:
P&B T&D F&V SH&ZSH K&G S&Z
Three rules for S&Z endings
Rule 1
If a word ends in a sound that is unvoiced (such as P, T, K, F), you add an unvoiced /S/
Examples:
1 cup, 2 cups (the p in cup is unvoiced, so you just add an unvoiced s)
1 cat, 2 cats (the t in cat is unvoiced, so just add an unvoiced s)
I break, he breaks
I stop, he stops
Rule 2
If a word ends in any of the sounds: s, z, sh, ch, or dg (j), when adding an S ending, add IZZZZZZ
Examples:
1 Page 2 Pages
1 Bus 2 Bus
1 Lunch 2 Lunches
I Rai, He Rais
I Brush, He Brushes
I Push, He Pushes
Rule 3
If a word ends in a vowel sound (like the word Tree) or a voiced consonant (like the word Game), then when you add an S, continue the voicing throughout the entire word, and it should become a voiced ZZZZ.
Examples:
1 Tree, 2 Treezzzz (correctly spelled Trees)
1 Day, 2 Days
1 Shoe, 2 Shoes
I Fly, He Flies
1 Game, 2 Games
1 Head, 2 Heads
1 Train, 2 Trains
1 Song, 2 Songs
Some common words where S’s are pronounced as Z’s
Is (This is good)
His (His mom is Mary)
As (As the phone rang)
Was (It was raining)
These (The are my children)
Those (Tho are my books)
Easy (This is easy)
Because (Becau we were late.)
Paragraph Practice
Notice that all voiced S/Z sounds are underlined.
