C16 · Here and hearYear 3 English · T1 W9–10 · Sources / C16 · Text version

Complete fictional source

The fictional music message says, ‘Come here to hear the music.’ In usual Australian English, here and hear have the same spoken form but different meanings and spellings. Here tells a place; hear concerns listening. Another supplied sentence says, ‘The paper drum rests here.’ A child may use taught sound-letter knowledge, a known word and the sentence meaning. The teacher checks the learner’s language variety rather than inventing a pronunciation rule or translation. No audio player, hearing test, loud sound or recording is required. An adult can read the sentence so that comprehension remains accessible, with independent reading recorded separately.
