   Differentiating between “we as in first” and “r as in run” is crucial. Thank you!!

   Hi Alison,
   Can I ask where polar, solar, dollar fit? 🙂

      I put them here: https://www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/unstressed-vowel/ar-as-in-dollar. I encourage kids to say unstressed vowels the way they are spelt, so the last syllable in these would be pronounced /ar/ as in ‘car’ (my accent is not rhotic).

   Thank you so much for these wonderful lists. They have helped me create resources for my school division (shared internally), and I would love to credit you. Is this okay? What name and date would you like me to use if so?

   Many thanks!

      Hi Annah, sorry for the very slow reply, my website has had an avalanche of spam and your message got lost in it. Could you just say you used lists by Alison Clarke of http://www.spelfabet.com.au? The lists were first set up in 2012 but have been revised several times since then so I’m not sure what date would be relevant. Thanks for the lovely feedback and I hope your resources are a big hit with your school division. Best, Alison
