O
The O sound
requires your lips to be rounded into a circle, like the shape of the letter
“o.” It sounds like the name of the
letter “o.”
Instructions to
make this sound: Are your lips rounded?
Is your tongue somewhat raised in the back of your mouth? Are the muscles of your mouth tense?
Common problems:
Using an A sound so “note” sounds like “not.”
Using an UH sound so “note” sounds like “nut.”
Common spellings:
EW as in “sew,” O as in “hello,” OA as in “oats,” OE as in “toe,” OU as in
“soul,” OUGH as in “dough,” OW as in “sow”
