Mr. Thanksgiving "Hey, there's no turkey here," Bob said. "My family's all grown," Rose said. "Why bother with dinner? It's just me now." About 24 hours before this discussion, this story will be emailed to you. Each person in the discussion will read a portion of the story aloud for the other learners. I will offer suggestions and answer questions after each person reads. At the end, I will read the entire story for everyone. Each of these discussions will use a different story, so feel free to sign up for more than one.

We will work on pronunciation of the many sounds in the English Language. This week we will work on digraphs (letters combined to make a new sound, like "ch") and three-consonant blends, like "scr". You will receive printed materials for practice, and password to the private webpage with a video lesson, and an opportunity to record your pronunciation to show me how you're doing!
