a) Let's read these words aloud:

Note that the letter 'i' is pronounced in two different ways in these words.

b) Read the words again. In Box A, write the words in which the letter 'i' is pronounced as in 'hill'. In Box B, write the words in which the letter 'i' is pronounced as in 'rise'. An example is written in each box for you.

Box A: hill
Box B: rise

Answer :

In this activity, we're focusing on the pronunciation of the letter 'i' in certain words and sorting them into two categories based on its sound.

To complete this task, we need to examine how 'i' is pronounced in each word and then sort them accordingly.

Box A is for words where 'i' is pronounced as in 'hill', which has a short 'i' sound. Box B is for words where 'i' is pronounced as in 'rise', which has a long 'i' sound.

Here is the list of words you provided:

  1. hill
  2. rise
  3. lights
  4. wind
  5. cliff
  6. thing
  7. pick
  8. mine

Now, let's categorize these words:

Box A - Short 'i' Sound (as in 'hill'):

  • hill
  • wind
  • cliff
  • thing
  • pick

Box B - Long 'i' Sound (as in 'rise'):

  • rise
  • lights
  • mine

In summary, words like 'hill' and 'pick' have a short 'i' sound similar to the pronunciation in 'hill'. Words like 'rise' and 'mine' have a long 'i' sound similar to the pronunciation in 'rise'. Understanding these differences can help improve your reading and pronunciation skills in English.
