Sorry not disrespect intended. Outstanding presentation your efforts are appreciated.

[@ortongillinghamcoaching]

No offense taken at all. Your comment made me laugh because no one has ever said a "hint" of an accent. I appreciate you watching my videos!

Thanks

I'm so glad to have found someone who sounds like me - Southern accent! This helps me to teach my homeschooled daughter. My name is Sam, but when my daughter isolates the short vowel sound, she hears e. If I'm honest, I do too. Any tips with that?

[@ortongillinghamcoaching]

Sorry this is such a late reply! Both southern and northern accents have their issues with certain letters. This is an article about dialect: ogforall.com/how-a-dialect-can-mix-things-up/ I think the key is in dictation to be sure to say the letter as it really sounds, even when you have a schwa word, for sounding purposes, you would pronounce the letter as it should be.

Jennifer you gorgeous young lady with a hint of southern accent I’m in love.

egg ,would be better

[@ortongillinghamcoaching]

I went with the training I received, but certainly "egg" would be a great key word.

[@pearlgirl]

The word “egg” is a tricky word too- just listen. It makes a long “A” sound like in the word “eight”. I am an OG tutor too. The short “e” sound is harder to isolate easily. It usually tangles with l or n, as in the word “enter”, “end”, “elephant”, “elf”, or “elbow”. What word would you use?

[@pearlgirl]

‘egg’ has the long a sound like in ‘eight’. The word politically ‘Eskimo’ is not good to use. What word should I use? elbow, elephant, end, and enter are some initial short E Vowel sound.

[@ortongillinghamcoaching]

@@pearlgirl Hi Laura, I have one resource who uses "Ed" and four more that use "Eddy" (including the Orton Gillingham Manual). I didn't think of Eskimo being politically incorrect -- it's just what I was taught in the course I took (those cards I still use are from that course, so I stuck with it). I hope it will be forgiven that I used it. I assume they used it because it had a picture that could go with it and the "e" sound is kind of isolated, so easier to hear? I think I just said "egg" off the top of my head in the video. My southern dialect makes it a solid "e" when I say it, but I can see others making it long a sound. I think I would do something like "elk" or "web" (and just let the sound be in the middle). I think "end" and "enter" in a southern dialect sounds too much like "i" and elephant has that schwa e in it. What do you think of "elk" or "web"? And those could still have a picture with them.

[@pearlgirl]

Thank you! Web, elk, Ed and Eddy, I’ll select one. Thank you! I’m currently live more north, in Canada, and here the word ‘Eskimo’ is seriously offensive to the native people who live north of the North Pole. It literally means ‘people with no eyebrows’ and has been labeled ‘outdated’ and incorrect, ‘Inuit’ is what is used now instead to describe or call this northern people. I remember being corrected 30 years ago in University and the public school system. So for those of us in contact with northern society it is not a correct folklore word to use.
