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
