What can you do at night

when you can't fall asleep ?

Count a million sheep ?

I listen to the sounds of the night and I try to make the sound.

Next to my bed, I hear the alarm clock tick, and I try to sound like it: th-th-th-th...

Can you draw an alarm clock and put the 'th' digraph next to it ?

I can also hear the rain softly falling on the roof. That sounds also as a th.

I can feel my tongue near my teeth, but the rain has a slightly different sound compared to the alarm clock's ticking :

as if there were many th's sounding out there together.

As the rain stops, the clock continues ticking... th-th-th-th....

Can you draw the rain falling over this city?

And through the slightly opened window,

I can hear the wind softly going throught the leaves in the trees. Sssshhhh....

Again, I can imitate the sound : ssshhh...That sounds comes from further in the mouth, it seems. I can feel it on my palate.

Can you draw the wind playing with the leaves and write the digraph 'sh' ?

I can hear a cow in a nearby paddock mow: mmmmmm....

I use my voice in this longer sound.

I can feel the vibrations on my lips and in myneck and throat that this m sound does.

On this page you can draw a cow, with its consonant 'm'.

What is that sound? Brrrrrr.... it bocomes softer when the motorbike moves away. I can do it with my voice on the palate and between my lips .

Draw a motorbike with the digraph 'br'.

Does your cupboard squeak : ng.... like mine ?

Is it the tooth fairy coming to collect teeth ?

(But normally they only come when you are fast asleep... How strange...)

I try to sound like a sqeaking door.

Do you know where that sound sits in your mouth and if it's your voice that makes it or is it voiceless ?

It is a sound that starts low and goes up high, so...you will do it with your voice.

Draw your cupboard on the next page.... next to mine with the squeaking sound 'ng' digraph

Then I hear the steps of someone walking past : ck,ck,ck,ck...

Can you draw a few more footsteps and the digraph 'ck'?

But when I still haven't fallen asleep, I go through all the sounds of the letters of the alphabet - consonants and vowels- and try to find out where they sit in the mouth.... and often I arrive at Zzzzzzz well before the letter!

Can you feel your upper and lower jaw ? How could you draw them ?

Can you feel your tongue moving in your mouth, touching each of your teeth and the palate ?

Each of the sounds of the story is made in a different way using various parts of our mouth, such as the tongue, the palate of the throat. For example: the squeaking door 'ng' is a soft voice sound coming from throat , the cow sound 'm' is a voiced sound that you can feel vibrating on your lips, the footsteps 'ck', is a voiceless sound produced on the palate, etc.

Match up the sounds with the different ways they are made. For example the ticking of the (alarm) clock is 'th' is a voiceless sound made behind the teeth on the palate. You can look back through the book to find the answers.

Can you put the sentences back into order of the story?

a) door, b) cow, c) footsteps, d) rain, e) wind, f) motorcycle

1) short soft, voiceless sounds produced with your tongue behind the front teeth.

2) a soft, voiceless sound coming from your palate and lips.

3) at a distance, it is a soft, long voiced sound coming off your lips.

4) a voiced sound that increases when it comes closer and decreases when it moves away, which comes from the lips and the palate.

5) short, voiceless sounds coming from the back of your palate.

6) soft, long voiced sound coming from your palate.

When you are finished, check the answers on page 20.

Hello! Here I am! You can make me out of cardboard to learn about the parts of the mouth: the lips, the teeth, the jaws, the tongue, the palate.

Can you draw your own face here, next to mine?

To make a three - dimensional cross-section of the mouth, you need an A4 copy paper type box with its lid (with slots on the short side), an A 4 sheet to glue over the lid, glue, masking tape, scissors and an adult to help you.

1) Take the box with its lid and the masking tape and scissors you will need. Cut the slots out and fold the box. Cut over the fold.
