Welcome to Phil's Wonderful World of Phonology:
This is a six part reflective introduction to phonology, which hopefully captures the wonders of our language in use and encourages you to
start focusing on this area of language more frequently in all your classes.

1. An Introduction to Phonology
A gap fill worksheet that divides phonology into five main areas, which are the focus of the other worksheets. There is also a link to the answer key and a commentary.

2. The Phonemic Chart & Sounds in Isolation
A series of exercises that builds your awareness of the phonemic script and finishes with ways of using the chart in the classroom.

3. Sounds in Combination
A group of exercises that focus on the four main linking devises and give you the opportunity to practice your phonemic script recognition and production.

5. Rhythmic stress & weakening
A worksheet to get you looking at weak forms and including 23 classroom activities.
