Explanation
Two sounds are easy to mix. The first is /dʒ/, as in huge, age and joke. We often write it with j, g or dge: joke, huge, fridge. The second is /ʒ/, a softer sound, as in treasure and measure. We write it with s: usually, television, leisure. Put your teeth almost together and push the air out for /ʒ/. For /dʒ/, start with a tiny stop of air, then let the sound out. Be careful: the letter g does not always say /dʒ/. In get and game it says /g/. Say the words after your teacher and listen to the difference.
Worked examples
Listen and say. First /dʒ/, then /ʒ/.
A huge jar is in the village. The joke is in the old language. Usually we measure the treasure on television. It is the age of the huge cage.
Listen and say our sentences.
Say the three words. Which one has a different sound? ‘huge, joke, treasure’
Now you. Find two more words with /dʒ/ at home or in your book. Say them to a grown-up.
Class activity
Sound sort. Write /dʒ/ and /ʒ/ on two sheets of paper. The grown-up says a word (age, cage, measure, joke, television, fridge, treasure, huge). The child points to the sheet with the sound and says the word again.
