Question

What is the best key word to put on a sound-symbol card to teach short e, i, /ĕ/. echo.

Answer 1

Answer:

For teaching the short /e/ sound, some suitable keywords for a sound-symbol card could be:

Egg
Elephant
Exit
Envelope
Elf
For teaching the short /i/ sound, some suitable keywords for a sound-symbol card could be:

Ink
Igloo
Itch
Insect
Imp
For teaching the /ĕ/ sound, some suitable keywords for a sound-symbol card could be:

Ed
End
Ent
Ebb
Egg
Since "echo" is not a good keyword for any of these sounds, I would suggest selecting a different keyword based on the specific sound you want to teach.
