Transcript:

Hi there! Jennifer from Tarle speech with your Friday heteronym lesson.

Heteronyms are words that are spelled the same but they have different meanings and different pronunciations. Our words today are does which means performs and does which is more than one female deer.

So we are going to start with that same D sound. To do this touch the tip of the tongue to the spot where the teeth meet the skin on the roof of your mouth. Air puffs out. Voice box is on and moving. We’re going to end with the z sound for both of these. To do this, the tip of your tongue is either pointed down, or is behind the top front teeth that is not touching. Air continuously moves out of the mouth. Your voice box is on and moving.

Now for the vowels this is the difference. For does which means to perform, we are going to add that short uh sound. You can see my mouth is relaxed, my tongue is relaxed, and that vowel just puffs out.

And then for o, I open my mouth and then I move to a pucker. As I do this, the tip of my tongue starts low in my mouth, and then ends flat in the middle of the mouth.

Let’s put these all together.
does does does
does does does
does does does does

And now for a sentence:
Does the salt lick attract lots of does?
Does the salt lick attract lots of does?

Give it a try, I know people are going to notice the difference. If you found this helpful, please share this with your friends, give us a like, don’t forget to subscribe, and check out our products at tarle speech.
