Hi, dear teacher,
It's been so long since I taught 1st grade - I am retired. I am wondering how the initial sounds of consonant letters are now being taught - and pronounced! There was controversy then because the linguists wanted teachers to stop voicing those sounds. Instead of saying buh, cuh, huh, muh..., teachers were told to leave off the uh, and link the sound to the vowel this way: bbb...a-bah, cccc..a-cah, mmm..a-mah... Children weren't always seeing how to link those sounds.
So, how is it nowadays? How do you do it? Tell us, so we know what is happening around the U.S.A.
Thanks for sharing, dear teacher.
Fraternally (although retired),
Janet
