SPEECH 6

Prepared by: Ms. Niezel R. Magsipok

Clear speech, proper pronunciation and strong communication skills have always been highly important in the academic, professional and personal worlds. This fact has never been more true now in this modern age, where it’s not only a useful skill, it’s a requirement to survive and thrive.

Consonant Sounds:

[tʃ] as in chandelier

[ʃ] as in sherbet

The ch Sound [tʃ] The ch [tʃ] is a blend of the [t] followed by the [sh]. To produce the [tʃ] sound, put your tongue slowly on the roof of your mouth. Then release a narrow stream of air through the tip of the tongue between the upper and the lower teeth. Do not let your vocal cords vibrate.

Try to pronounce consonant sounds [tʃ] and [ʃ] in words and tongue twisters.

Consonant Sound [ʃ] – (sh) The [ʃ] is represented by other spellings beside sh. These are the following: si as in mansion, ti as in fiction, ss as in session, ci as in gracious, ch as in chaperon. The consonant [ʃ] sound is produced by first practicing the sound of [s]. Then, put your tongue up and back a little, letting the air out. The lips protrude a little and there is no vibration on your vocal cords.

Tongue twisters do not only challenge proper pronunciation of difficult words and syllables, but also have been shown to effectively help rhythm and tone good to hear. These also boost confidence and sense of humor in children, and can make sometimes stressful speech therapy more light-hearted and easier on the individual.

Read aloud the tongue twisters below. Pronounce [tʃ] and [ʃ] sounds correctly.

1. She sells seashells by the seashore.

The shells she sells shine I am sure.

She sells shiny seashells by the seashore.
