Trying to help my daughter who is in grade 6 with her home work I'm not understanding what to do
it says Fill in the empty sound boxes to represent the sounds in each homogragh.
I got a BOW and arrow for my birthday. ________________?
can you help please.
what is the sound of ow in Bow and Arrow? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySRd-Amrd28
From Google:
"hom·o·graph
/ˈhäməˌɡraf,ˈhōməˌɡraf/
noun
each of two or more words spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same and having different meanings and origins."
Of course BOW is the homograph.
A BOW and arrow
The actors took a BOW when the audience applauded after the show.
I don't know how to represent these sounds.
look in the dictionary, where they show the phonetic pronunciation, either with English letters or the international phonetic alphabet. Many online dictionaries will also pronounce the word for you.
bow /bō/ or /boʊ/
"a girl with long hair tied back in a bow"
bow /bou/ or /baʊ/
"he turned and bowed to his father"
Of course, I can help you with that! It sounds like your daughter's homework is asking her to fill in the empty sound boxes to represent the sounds in each homograph. A homograph is a word that has the same spelling but can have different meanings and pronunciations. In this case, the word is "bow."
To complete this task, your daughter needs to think about the different sounds that "bow" can make. One sound corresponds to a tied ribbon or an act of bending forward, while the other sound corresponds to a weapon that shoots arrows.
To represent these sounds using sound boxes, your daughter can divide the word into two boxes: "b" in the first box and "o" and "w" in the second box. Then, she can write the corresponding sounds in each box. Here's an example:
For the word "BOW," we can fill in the sound boxes as follows:
1st box: /b/
2nd box: /ow/ (pronounced like "o" in "go" and "w" at the end)
So, the completed sound boxes would look like this:
B o w
/b/ /ow/
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
