In The Hands Of The Cave Dwellers

Chapter One Worksheet and Answers

Note: In the answer keys, because I cannot use the curve line above short vowels I have used [s] and I have used [l] instead of the straight line above long vowels. The schwa [upsidedown e] is either a short u sound or silent. In addition, Academic Associates students know that U has 3 long sounds, so I use [l1], [l2], or [l3] according to which long sound is being made. In writing the answers students may use the proper phonetic symbols.

To find some of these answers you will have to use a dictionary. The phonetic spelling of a word is spelling it how it sounds, i.e. how you would pronounce it. For example, the phonetic spelling of “car” is “kr.” If you are at your computer you may want to use www.thefreedictionary.com.
