• Phonics derives from the Greek word “phono”, which means sound or voice. Therefore, phonics is teaching students about the relationship between the sound of a letter (also known as a phoneme), and the letter or groups of letters  of a written language that represent it (these are called graphemes).
• Phonics can be taught by learning individual sounds and their corresponding letters, or by learning the sounds of groups of letters.
• Learning groups of letters involves rimes (which are vowel and consonant pairs like “at” or “ed”), and consonant clusters, which are pairs of consonants like “bl” or “sh”.
• Once these groups are established, syllables, or groups of groups can be taught to blend, such as ch + op = chop

Phonics QU Worksheets

This phonics pack forms part of a larger series on the English language and encompasses the Roman alphabet letters QU . When using this worksheet pack , students will be able to match the sounds with individual letters or groups of letters.

Phase 3 phonics sounds: “qu” sound jolly phonics

How to teach qu sound:.

We are going to teach kids the qu sound through 6 steps. Each step will add a lot of fun and liveliness to the learning time. Let’s see together:

1. sound qu story:

Jimmy loves to play in the garden. Especially, near the pond where the ducks swim and squirrels are climbing the branches of the trees. He loves to feed the ducks bread and gets some nuts for the squirrels who come quickly to eat all of it. The ducks also come quickly quacking to eat the bread from jimmy’s hand. He likes their sound and does like them “qu, qu, qu….”

2. qu sound jolly phonics pronunciation:

• the ‘qu’ consonant cluster, that is, the ‘c’ as in ‘cap’ with the ‘w’ as in ‘will’.
• I know that some people have difficulties with this sound. The key is in the lip position.
• To make the W sound, the lips have to round not just a little, but a lot, so that there’s just a tiny gap there where the lips are not touching.
• When I say the word ‘quick’, notice that my lips have already rounded, quick, before my vocal cords even release the air for the kk sound. Quick.
• Click here to know HOW TO TEACH JOLLY PHONICS STEP-BY-STEP

3. jolly phonics digraph qu dictation:

walk with your kid step by step on his notebook to write the following digraph. Show him the gif below and motivate him to imitate it.

4. qu sound digraph tracing worksheet

Here’s the digraph “qu” tracing worksheet to practice:

5. jolly phonics sound qu – blending exercise:

Use our phonics phase 2 and phase 3 flashcards to practice some pronunciation activities with your kid: 

• The first level: Make combinations of the flashcards below and let the child recognize which letters are making the sound “qu”.
• Advanced level: Let the child assemble the words below by himself. keep telling him the pronunciation of the word until he can make the combination alone. 
• The word the kid should make here is “quick”.

Try other words too…

jolly phonics sound qu – words dictation:

Write on the board or on a piece of paper the following table of graphemes . Give the kid some oral words that can only be combined with available graphemes in the table. See how your kid will be able to form a word from.

The teacher/parent here may say :

“squeeze”

Now the kid has to know how to form the latter word from the table using his listening skills and his knowledge of blending.

after the teacher/parent pronounce the word the kid should arrange the word following the pronunciation he heard

Phil Spencer wants Epic Games Store and others on Xbox consoles

To grow the console market, Xbox will need to be more like PC

Share All sharing options for: Phil Spencer wants Epic Games Store and others on Xbox consoles

Phil Spencer doesn’t just want Xbox games on other consoles. He wants other video game retailers on Xbox, too.

In an interview with Microsoft’s CEO of Gaming during the annual Game Developers Conference, Spencer told Polygon about the ways he’d like to break down the walled gardens that have historically limited players to making purchases through the first-party stores tied to each console. Or, in layperson terms, why you should be able to buy games from other stores on Xbox — not just the official storefront.

Spencer mentioned his frustrations with closed ecosystems, so we asked for clarity. Could he really see a future where stores like Itch.io and Epic Games Store existed on Xbox? Was it just a matter of figuring out mountains of paperwork to get there?

“Yes,” said Spencer. “[Consider] our history as the Windows company. Nobody would blink twice if I said, ‘Hey, when you’re using a PC, you get to decide the type of experience you have [by picking where to buy games]. There’s real value in that.” Spencer believes console players would benefit from that freedom too — and so would console makers like Microsoft.

Spencer explained how, in the past, console makers would typically subsidize the cost of expensive hardware, knowing that a portion of every dollar spent on games for the platform over the years would eventually make it back to the console maker. Then, in time, the console maker would recoup the subsidy — and hopefully more.

But, Spencer said, “ Moore’s Law has slowed down. The price of the components of a console aren’t coming down as fast as they have in previous generations.” Worse, he explained, the console market isn’t growing, with more gamers moving to PC and handheld options. Now, the notion of subsidizing a console — and forcing players to purchase games through the official storefront to help recoup costs — might not make sense. The walls meant to lock people into consoles might be motivating them to stay out.

“[Subsidizing hardware] becomes more challenging in today’s world,” Spencer said. “And I will say, and this may seem too altruistic, I don’t know that it’s growing the industry. So I think, what are the barriers? What are the things that create friction in today’s world for creators and players? And how can we be part of opening up that model?”

The answer, in part, is scrapping exclusivity on more and more Xbox games. Spencer explained that the game experience is hindered when it matters what consoles we play on or what shops sell us our games. As an example, he pointed to Sea of Thieves . A player, he explained, shouldn’t have to worry about what hardware they or their friends own. They should just know if their friends have and want to play Sea of Thieves .

Now, Spencer said, “if I want to play on a gaming PC, then I feel like I’m more a continuous part of a gaming ecosystem as a whole. As opposed to [on console], my gaming is kind of sharded — to use a gaming term — based on these different closed ecosystems that I have to play across.”

Spencer’s view sounds reasonable on paper. The console market is flat . The PC market is growing in part because it gives players a choice in where they buy games. So, if consoles want to bring players back, they’ll need to be more like PCs. And that means bringing down the walled gardens that, for decades, have protected the financial model of game consoles.

If Spencer wants to make that vision a reality, then it’s reasonable that we could one day boot up our Xboxes and see Epic Games Store, Itch.io, and other shops waiting to sell us games — and hopefully competing with one another to bring players the best possible deals.

The next level of puzzles.
