Pronunciation Dominoes

As in normal dominoes, like pairs must be put together. So, for example, ‘door’ can be put next to ‘ignore’. Cut these strips across so that each dominoe has two words on it - one at either end.

The three phonemes practiced here are:

  • 'or' as in door
  • 'er' as in bird
  • 'ee' as in wheel
