Правила чтения

Правильное чтение на английском языке основано на умении распознать положение, в котором встречается буква в каждом отдельном случае, и правильно произнести соответствующий звук. Это достигается сознательным усвоением правил чтения гласных и согласных, а также систематической тренировкой в чтении и артикуляции.

Правила чтения гласных букв и буквосочетаний

Чтение гласных зависит от ряда факторов:

1) от типа слога, в котором она стоит (открытый, закрытый и т.п.);

2) от того, является она ударной или безударной;

3) от ее положения среди других букв, т.е. сколько и какие буквы следуют за ней или предшествуют ей.
