Today is a three for Tuesday! Three homophones  are words that are pronounced exactly the same way  

but are spelled differently  with different meanings.

So we have peddle to sell or promote 

pedal foot operated levers or to move a bike and petal the colorful part of a flower

To say these words correctly two beats. We're  going to start with the ped. To do this lips  

just close and then open. Air puffs out.  You're going to keep your mouth slightly open.  

Tip of your tongue is going to be peeking out  between your top and your bottom teeth for that  

eh sound. And then touch the tip of your tongue  to the back of your top front teeth for the d.

ped ped ped

Then you are going to move your tongue and  touch the back of your top front teeth again  

and hold it there for a second  for that llll sound. Recently,  

I found that for some of my students it's  easier to think about this as saying ul ul  

ul. And that helps you to keep the sound going  as you are getting to that spot for the l.

So it's not ped l. It's ped-ul ped-ul.

peddle pedal petal peddle pedal petal

And now for a sentence: The flower seller would  

peddle his product via pedal power while  showing off his colorful flower petals.

Give it a try people are going  to notice the difference!
