some pronunciation sites

First go here to practice words with their sounds. There are mp3s (audio files) to help you.

Here is another one called shiporsheep. When you move your mouse over the picture you will hear the word and can practice.

This is a site you have visited before. It is called ManyThings. We did the sounds at this site a couple weeks ago, but it is good to revisit it.

Here is a series of exercises on syllable emphasis. We did some of this last week, so now is a good time to review.

This site has a very limited number of sounds, but it looks like a good site for practice on those sounds. First choose the sound from the drop down menu marked "Select a Sound." Then choose "Words" from the drop down menu marked "Select a Category."

vocabulary sites for tonight

Begin by going to this site. Start by learning the vocabulary words at the top of the page, then do the exercises at the bottom.

Next go here. This has a short quiz that will help you learn new words for occupations. Here is another short quiz from the same site. It has some of the same words, but also some new ones (it's pretty easy). Finally, there is this quiz (again from the same site)that will give you some more practice.

Lastly, go to this site. It'll help you learn a few new words.

Please be sure to write down all of tonight's new words. We will be doing something latter in the lesson with them.

new for November

Here's some fun games and links for our class tonight:

First there are scrambled vocabulary words here. The easy puzzle has 15 words you need to spell correctly. You can try the medium one if you want, but it is kind of hard.

You have visited this site before. Be sure to pick easy games (like flash word search or catch the spelling or match words game) and use only this vocabulary.

Finally, you may want to check the Ventures Arcade site Practice the vocabulary and lessons in Units 1-7.
