Dorothy Pitzer
Elementary Supervisor
In some languages, if one can
pronounce a word, he can spell it.
SucY languages are strictly pho-
netic in their spelling. Each sound
is always spelled the same way.
The English language is difficult
to analyze by speech sounds be-
cause it is not strictly phonetic.
About eighty per cent of the words
ai^e said to be phonetic; the re-
maining twenty per cent deviate
from phonetic generalizations. The
twenty-six letters of the alphabet
represent about forty-three sounds
commonly found in the 600,000 dif-
ferent words in the English dic-
tionary. Some letters have more
than one sound. The same sound
may be represented by a variety
of letter combinations. Certain let-
ters have no sound of their own.
In spite of these facts, there are
definite groups of words and syl-
lables in the English language
which belong in certain phonetic
and structural categories. Although
phonics is not a way of teaching
reading, it is important that we
use effective ways of stressing the
phonetic elements of our language
in building spelling power and word
recognition skills which aid the de-
velopment of reading ability.
From time to time parents have
remarked that they have missed
the training in phonetics that most
elementary school children receive
today. The pupils in the Refugio
elementary schools are fortunate
in having ample materials and in-
struction in phonics.
Beginning in the first grade and
continuing through the elementary
school, instruction in phonetics and
word structure is carefully plan-
ned. In addition to the well-planned
phonics program in the basal read-
ers, Refugio teachers use many
other materials for reinforcement
and extension of phonetic instruc-
tion. One new addition to this pro-
gram for the current school year
is PHONICS AND WORD POWER,
published by American Education
Publications, which is a continu-
ous program for grades one
through three. New and revised
materials have also been added
in the intermediate grades.
The following are definitions of
terms that are used in connection
with the teaching of phonics in
elementary grades:
1. CONSONANT — A consonant
is a sound made by obstructing
the tone, not allowing the sound
free passage through the mouth.
The breath (voiceless) consonants
are c, f, h, k, p, s, and t. The
voiced consonants are b, d, g, j,
1, m, n, r, v, w, x, y, and z.
2. BLEND—A blend is the un-
ion of sounds as th to ing in thing,
or str to ong in strong.
3. CONSONANT BLEND—A con-
sonant blend is the blending of two
or more consonants with the vow-
els in a word.
4. INITIAL CONSONANT BLEND
—An initial consonant blend con-
sists of the first two or three con-
sonants of the word, as bl, pr, scr,
and thr.
5. INITIAL CONSONANT — If
there is only one consonant before
the first vowel, it is called the
initial consonant.
6. FINAL CONSONANT BLEND
—The final consonant blend is a
blend of two or more consonants
that follow the final vowel. They
are ct, ft, Id, Ik, It, mp, nch, nd,
nk, nt, pt, sk, sp, and st.
7. FINAL CONSONANT — This
is the last consonant in the word.
8. VOWEL—A vowel is a simple
vocal sound made with the mouth
and lips more or less open and
the vocal chords vibrating. The
vowel letters are a, e, i, o, u, and
sometimes w and y.
9. DIGRAPH — A digraph is a
combination of two vowels or two
consonants' that represent a sin-
gle speech sound.
The initial consonant digraphs
are ch, kn, ph, sh, th, wh, wr,
and gn.
The final consonant digraphs are
ch, ck, ng, sh, th, tch, and gh.
These may also be used as med-
ial digraphs.
The breath digraphs are ch, sh,
th, and wh; the voiced digraphs
are th and ng.
The vowel digraphs are ai, ay,
au, aw, ea, ee, ei, eu, ew, ey, ie,
oa, ovv( as in snow), and ue.
10. DIPHTHONG — A diphthong
is a combination of vowel letters
pronounced with a slurring sound
so that each vowel is heard. The
most common of these are oi, oy,
ou, and ow (as in cow).
11. MEDIAL SOUND — A vowel
or consonant in the middle of the
word is the medial sound.
12. RHYMING WORDS — These
words have the same ending sounds
and they may or may not be spell-
ed the same. Examples: say and
weigh used in audifory preception.
13. PHONOGRAMS — A phono-
gram is a letter or a combination
of letters representing a word, a
syllable, or a single speech sound.
Examples: get, tion, a, d, ain,
spl, th, ir, ba.
14. SYLLABLE — A syllable is
a unit of speech which forms a
complete word or a part of a word.
15. MULTI-SYLLABIC WORD—
A multi-syllabic word is one of
three or more syllables.
16. ROOT—The center or base is
he root to which prefixes, suf-
-ixes, or inflectional endings may
be added.
17. PREFIX — A prefix is a
| meaningful beginning which modi •
| fies the meaning of the root word
J to which it is attached.
| 18. SUFFIX — A suffix is a
1 meaningful ending which modifies
j the meaning of the root word to
: which it is attached.
| 19. ACCENT — When a word oi
more than one syllable is pro-
nounced, the voice usually stres-
ses one syllable more than it does
another. The stressed syllable i3
called the accented syllable.
20. PHONEME — The smallest
unit of speech in any given lan-
guage that distinguishes one ut-
terance from another is a phone-
me. Examples, the p in pin and
the f in fin, by which these two
English words are distinguished
from each other.
21. PHONETICS — The science
of speech sounds is called pho-
netics.
22. PHONICS — Phonics is the
application of phonetics to the
teaching of reading and spelling.

Read Isaiah 60:19-20;
II Peter 1:16-21
The people that walked in dark-
ness have been a great light: they
that dwell in the land of the shad-
ow of death, upon them hath the
light shined. (Isaiah 9:2.)
I never fully knew what dark-
ness was until I became an infan-
try chaplain in jungle combat. The
nights were impenetrable, and ev-
ery darker shadow seemed to be
a skulking foe. Some in our port
platoon would sing, “I hate to see
that evenin’ sun do down.” Watch-
ing the sun go down, we never
knew Whether we should live to
see it rise.
But the long night ended, we
would see light in the east. How
glorious was that transition from
darkness to light! I reminded us
of words in Genesis, “God said,
Let there be light: and there was
light.” How reassuring it was to
know that the longest night would
end with the rising sun!
Trouble, fear, anxiety come to
us all in the dark moments of life,
but we need not be in despair.
Isaiah fortold the coming of Christ,
the light of the world. Now that
He has come, we look to Him for
the light of life.
PRAYER: Father in heaven, we
thank Tee for Thy love embodied
in Jesus Christ our Savior. Save
us from the folly of walking in
darkness when the light of life
shines all around us, through
Christ our Redeemer. In His name
we offer to Thee our prayer. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It is morning when we walk
in the light of Christ.
