homophone lesson. Homophones are words  that are pronounced exactly the same  

way they just have different spellings  and different meanings. Our words today  

are slight a small degree or sleight the  use of cunning to deceive or to insult.  

We often hear this in the phrase a sleight of  hand meaning we're going to deceive someone.

To say these words correctly we only have four  sounds. So many letters that gets confusing. So  

to say this word correctly, let's start with that  s. Tip of the tongue is pointed down or behind the  

top teeth that's not touching. Air moves out of  the mouth continuously. Smiling for this letter.

Then we're going to move to the  L. You're actually going to touch  

the back of your teeth. L Keep your lips  pulled back almost in that smile shape.

Then we're going to open wide for the I. And to  do this open wide, tip of the tongue goes low,  

back of the tongue is pulled high up, and  then we're going to close to a smile again.  

I As you close to the smile your  tongue ends high and flat in the mouth.

Then just touch the tip of your tongue  to those teeth again for that t. T

And now for a sentence: The sleight of hand led to a slight advantage.
