Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Okay, we all know that this channel is about reading and spelling correctly.

[00:00:05]And what I do most times is practical. I don't just teach and teach. I make sure it is practical because making it practical helps you do better. What you are learning, you need to practice it.

[00:00:18]So, let's just go straight to what we have to do today. I have taught you sounds here. You have learned your ABCD.

[00:00:23]In case you're my student and you're just coming for the first time or seeing this video for the first time, you know that I will surely teach you your sound.

[00:00:30]So just you can watch this and get used to certain things while you are still starting from where we should start which is your ABCD. But for those that have already learned sounds, let us dive in. I've taught you whether I've taught you consonant clusters, I've taught you diraphs, I've taught you vowel teams or not, this lesson is for you. You can start practicing something now pending when I'm going to teach you that. So today I want us to do something like this. These are consonant clusters. I want us to consider So, I'll give you more of them because my board the height of it the height is it height yes it's height the height cannot carry so after teaching what I want to teach I'll give you list of them that you go and pronounce for me so now let's say we have something like this is bl I taught you that when you want to pronounce a word you want to join two word two letters together. The first one you don't have to give it a full sound.

[00:02:22]You just position your mouth like you want to say that first one and then bring out the second one. I've always told my students this. If you are my student, you know that this one is what I do a lot. So this is you position your mouth to say this and then bring out blade that sound. As I made the sound blow, you could hear B and in what I said bl now.

[00:02:58]A n an an is an an and when you add c it is an ank. Now we want to join them together. This is blank blank. Blank blank. Ank is blank.

[00:03:23]If we have this is B and this is R. Br.

[00:03:36]If you say B, you said them separately.

[00:03:40]But for you to say the two together is you position your mouth to say the then bring out the br B br.

[00:03:50]A and plus the is and.

[00:03:55]You've already learned your threeletter words. Whether you've learned or not forming it, you should know. And. So br and will give you brand. B plus and will give you brand.

[00:04:10]Let's now say we have something like this bl in in I N E and is in in plus C is ink bl in blink blink.

[00:04:32]So I my for my students this is strategy you have to take calm down there are some students here that I will just give homework immediately they do and submit and at the end of the day you just did rubbish this is something that if you had calmed down you will get it 100% without stress even if you don't get 100% I will know where the fault is coming from but because no you think I will just come and I'll I will just put it no it is practical and practical you want to get it you don't have to be in a hurry you do it small small calculate it check it calculate it that is why if you don't get it right only you but when you are with me if I am guiding you on that steps you will get it you should ask yourself why it's because you don't calm down you don't take you don't remember what I said previously so this is blink let's say we want to use this This is C. And this sound, you know, it has two sounds, but the circumstance that will bring this one to having the sounds is when it has I in front of it or E in front of it. Any other alphabet or consonant that comes after it, it has a sound. So this is C plus C.

[00:05:56]A N is an that is an CL plus N is clan.

[00:06:02]Cl + N is clan. Clan.

[00:06:12]Now this is C and this is R C C.

[00:06:19]Some students will be sounding funny when they are saying this. This is So you will say you have two letters that are look that looks alike. How do you go about it? As long as it is consonant. As long as it is consonant and they are two they have one sound they have one sound though there are ones that when they meet like this letter C there are situations like it meets twice. If it is two in one word you pronounce one as the other one as let's not. Don't worry. But this now is D. Whether two or double, no problem. So this is crad plus is cradle. Cradle. If you are a student, if I'm saying this, I will emphasize on if you're a student because there are some things I teach my students. If you are a student, you know that the your book, the books people bought, I told you in one of the videos, I think that's in part four. I said whenever you read this letter E at the end of any word letter E is always silent if letter E sometimes there's a vowel in front of it sometimes it will change the sound of this most if this is only one letter if this one here is not double this would have been a it would automatically change this sound but let me not fill you with that now but for the fact that this is two there are two here this remains a but this letter E will be silent. Cradle. Cradle.

[00:07:54]That is cradle. Now I will give you list of words.

[00:08:00]I'll drop list of words that carries this. It even if you see the one that is not found here, please still do it because they are all the same thing, the same pattern. Now I want to use this particular one because I know you miss this a lot. This is and this is plus when you have ample is app strap app strap. Okay, this is strap. So I want to see your homework. Drop it after this video. I'll drop list of words that you should write for me. Practice it on your own. Take your time. If you're a student that your next class is on Wednesday, you have today and tomorrow to practice this thing and submit. If you are a student that your next class is tomorrow, take your time today. Give it time, pronounce very well, learn it and submit it for me. She know Slass.
