Transcript:
Hi everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday homophone lesson. Homophones are words that are pronounced exactly the same way but with different spellings and different meanings.

Two words today:
tracked which means to pursue or follow or to bring in and

tract an expanse of land or water or a system of organs

To say these words correctly let's start with that t sound. Touch the tip of your tongue to the spot where your teeth meet the skin of the roof of your mouth. Pull it down and air puffs out.

Next we're going to move to that ER sound. To do that, square tense lips. Tip of the tongue is either pointed down or flipped back, back of the tongue is pulled high up.

Tip here: my lips are square and tense to start this word, and then all that I do, is move my tongue from the T to the r. That avoids me adding that extra uh sound and saying ta. tr
Just get my lips in that spot tr tr. All the action is happening just in my mouth. My lips are not moving. Next we're going to open wide in a round circle for that ah. As I open my mouth wide, the back of my tongue is pulled high up, tip of my tongue is down, and low in the front of my mouth.

Then we're going to add that K. My tongue is in about the same spot. Tip of the tongue is low, back of the tongue is pulled up. It's just that the air changes and pops out.

Then I'm gonna move the tip of the tongue to touch the spot where my teeth meet the skin on the roof of my mouth for that t.

Let's put it all together

They tracked mud into the housing tract after they tracked their dog into the woods.
