The letters ed at the end of a word make one of three sounds.
Listen to the sound made by the bold letters in the following words.
pushed united planned
You will notice that the word pushed sounds as if it ends with the letter
t.
The second word has a strange ending. The sound begins with a short
hardly stressed grunt which falls between the short sounds of e and
u and ends with the short sound of d.
The third word sounds as if it should be spelled pland.
Listen carefully to the sounds made by the examples. The word pushed
like the word reached can only adopt one sound. The student will
select the ending which follows naturally.
Words sharing the same ending have been paired .
The three tick rule applies. |
