English Letter-Sound Drills

By Tamara Piankova

The handbook English Letter-Sound Drills presents: - Different ways of pronouncing the same letters & letter combinations - Pronunciation of vowel sounds in stressed & unstressed positions - Pronunciation of consonants, consonant clusters & sequences - Linkage in connected speech. The book is prepared carefully and with a lot of attention to detail. A reading (pronunciation) item is drilled in single-purpose exercises before different items are brought together in a jumble. Other things being equal, such exercises are more effective than those aimed at practising several difficulties at the same time. Three Appendices are added at the close of the book: (1) Words with the Same Sound but with Different Spellings and Meanings, (2) Spelling Forms for Consonant Sounds, and (3) Spelling Forms for Vowel Sounds. The Glossary of Terms contains the elements of English phonetics and related grammar.
