Pronunciation and phonetic spelling

Pronunciation and phonetic spelling

An easy way to deal with pronunciation is to go to Dictionary.com and look the word up. You'll then see phonetic (IPA) or spell-it-like-you-say-it pronunciation below the word. There is also a recording of words for students to listen to. It is a good resource.

Just copy and paste the /pruh-nuhn-see-ey-shuh/ bit into your lesson record. That blue toggle switch in the image that says "spell" can be clicked to give IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) spelling: /prəˌnʌn siˈeɪ ʃən/ You can also get a voice recording here and syllables: pro·nun·ci·a·tion

Another option is to Google "define [word]" and you will get IPA. That is not as useful for some, but many students are taught to read IPA.
