READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY AS THESE QUESTIONS BELOW ARE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE PAGE YOU WERE GIVEN TO REVIEW:
76. According to Mrs. Tillapaugh, there are 1320 one syllable words that contain the short vowel sounds. i.e. hat bed lid hot nut etc. Only 78 of these are not purely phonetic and must be memorized as sight words. The others are easily sounded out. TRUE OR FALSE
77. According to Mrs. Tillapaugh, an individual will have independent command of 62 percent of the phonetic syllables of the entire English language when he recognizes short vowel consonants. i.e. Blends with short vowels: Fred (Fr is the blend.), plan (pl is the blend), etc. TRUE OR FALSE
78. According to the reading specialist in Arizona who did extensive research on the importance of phonics in the teaching of reading, there is one day in each regular year, not counting any leap year, to represent each word found in the English language, which contains the short sound of "i" as in "pig". TRUE OR FALSE
79. According to this same documented research referred to in question number 76, Tillapaugh claims that a person who has a thorough knowledge of phonics will be able to attack independently 94 percent of our English words that contain just the short sounds of vowels. Therefore, what is the total number of words this researcher proclaims to be in the English language that contain the short vowel sounds of a, e, i, o, u,?

short sound of the letter U that we learned in the word, UMBRELLA.
Come on, let's lift!
" Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh".
Okay,take a break. Therefore the short sound of the letter U is
not like the first sound you hear in the word, "Uhhhhh...MBRELLA!"
Hey, you better move that car before it starts to rain!
