We have homophones today. These words are  spelled differently. They have different  

meanings but they are pronounced  exactly the same way. The words are: 

jam which are fruit preserves  or to wedge between objects and 

jamb the side piece on a doorway or window

So let's take a look at our words to say these  words correctly we have three little sounds!

Yes we have a silent letter here, the b,  we are not going to say that sound at all.  

So we're going to start with the j sound. To  do this touch the tip of your tongue to the  

back of your top front teeth and then pull it  quickly back into the middle of the mouth. J

Now move to the short ah. To do this  open your mouth in a wide circle. Tip  

of your tongue is low. Back of  your tongue is pulled high up.

And then end with the m m. To do this close  your lips air moves through your nose. m

jam jam jam jamb jamb jamb

And now for a sentence.

I need to jam something into the door jamb.

Give it a try people are going to notice  the difference. If you found this helpful
