Composition:– Oral: Expository
Literature: Setting of the text: Precious Little Darling
ASPECT: Speech work
TOPIC: Contrasting /f/ and /v/; /s/ and /z/
The production of /f/ involves the front upper teeth and the lower lips. Because of the partial obstruction caused by the contact between the upper teeth and the lower lip, there is a continuous frictional noise as the airstream passes. There is no vibration of the vocal cord because the glottis is wide open during the production of /f/. This consonant is, therefore, a voiceless sound which has the following spelling symbols:
“f” as in feet
“ph” as in Physics
“gh” as in laugh
Pronounce the following words with /f/ at the initial and final positions:
Initial – final
fun – loaf
fry – grief
phase – laugh
flow – staff
fly – wolf
fought – lift
