APPENDIX III
On the Teaching of Reading.
Though the teaching of reading does not strictly come within the scope
of this book, a few hints may be given on the subject.
For the first stages the student is referred to the wholly admirable
work of Miss Dale, based throughout on a careful study of the spoken
language.
Later on it is important that the pupils should be able to read aloud
with distinct articulation and an agreeable voice. Far the most helpful
book is Mr Burrell's "Clear Speaking and Good Reading" (published
by Longmans). He dwells on the importance of good breathing and a
good posture, and gives suitable exercises for ensuring both. He
condemns all that is affected or stagy; indeed his whole book is an
eloquent plea for quiet and restraint. He rightly advises the teacher
to listen carefully to good speakers, avoiding (as a rule) those of
his own profession. In dealing with phonetics he hardly appreciates
the advantages attaching to a thorough study of the language as it
is actually spoken; but we can recommend without reserve the later
chapters of his book (vi. The Reading Lesson; vii. Reading and
Reciting; viii. Specimen Lessons in Recitation; ix. On the Higher Study

APPENDIX IV
The following diagrams serve to show the position of the tongue in the
formation of some of the vowels.
Observe the different shapes of the mouth passage through which the
breath passes.
(These diagrams were originally prepared by Dr. R. J. Lloyd.)
[Illustration: mar=i=ne (=i=)]
[Illustration: r=E=in (=e=)]
[Illustration: th=E=re (=ɛ=)]
[Illustration: p=A=t (=a=)
This diagram represents the vowel [a]. In northern English it is found
in words like _pat_; in southern English it is the first part of the
diphthong in _house_ [haus], _bite_ [bait].]
[Illustration: br=U=te (=u=)]
[Illustration: n=O=te (=o=)]
[Illustration: =A=ll (=ɔ=)]
[Illustration: f=A=ther (=ɑ=)]
The following diagrams are the result of experiments with an artificial
palate, covered with fine powder. When certain sounds are uttered, the
tongue touches the palate and some of the powder is removed. What is
black in the diagrams indicates those parts of the hard palate which
are touched by the tongue.
[Illustration: These diagrams show where the tongue touches the palate
in the production of [ʃ] and [s] respectively.]
[Illustration: English word _toe_
French word _tôt_ (to)
These diagrams are by Mr Dumville, and are taken from his _Elements
of French Pronunciation and Diction_. They illustrate the manner of
production of the English and the French [t]. It will be noticed that
in the case of the English sound the tongue is farther back than in the
case of the French sound.]
