  1. Connected Speech • When people speak naturally, sometimes the sounds in words change. Let’s look at some class rules for examples: • “Sleepat home.” • How would you say this? • When the end of one word is a consonant and the beginning of the next word is a vowel, the two words get linked together.

  2. Connected Speech • Let’s look at this class rule: “Stayawake.” • How do you say this? • The first word ends in a vowel sound /ey/. The next word begins in a vowel sound also /ə /. • When the two words are connected by /y/, it is called a /y/ glide.

  3. Practice Connected Speech • Here’s another class rule: “Showup.” • How do you say this? • When one word ends in /uw/ /ow/ or /aw/ and then next word ends in a vowel, link the two words with a /w/ glide.

  4. Picture Grid • Work with a partner • Ask your partner what’s in the missing boxes. Don’t look at their paper. • ex. “What’s in the top left box for you?” • They should answer, for example, “I have two eyes.” • Make sure you pronounce the linking properly! • Draw the missing pictures in the blank boxes to complete your grid.
