  • Homophones are words that are  pronounced exactly the same,  

  • different meanings, and different spellings.

  • We have: coral what forms reefs and 

  • choral an adjective describing singing

  • We have two syllables or two beats todayLet's start with syllable number one core.

  • To say this we're gonna start  with the k sound. Tip of the  

  • tongue is down back of the tongue  is pulled high up. Air puffs out.

  • Then we're going to move to the or. To do this  start with the pucker. Pucker those lips! Tongue  

  • is flat in the middle of the mouth then moves  to that er sound. To do that back of your tongue  

  • is pulled way high up tip of your tongue is  either down or flipped back for this sound.  

  • Don't forget to move your lips from puckered  to pulled back into that square tense shape.

  • or or or core core core

  • Now for the ul we're gonna have  just a short uh sound there  

  • and that's gonna help us move from that erfrom the er to the l sound. For that uh sound  

  • your tongue is just flat and relaxed in the  middle of your mouth; then you're going to  

  • move to touching the tip of the tongue to the  back of the top front teeth for that l sound.
