RULES ON THE RUN is a color-coded version of the original “Putting It All Together” chart that first appeared in RULES for Using Linguistic Elements of Speech-A Resource and Interactive Workbook (2006).
RULES ON THE RUN is an easy reference tool to increase understanding of the suprasegmentals of American English pronunciation. It summarizes the pronunciation of compound nouns, adjectives + nouns, phrasal verbs, proper nouns, acronyms, initializations, heteronyms, past-tense endings, -s endings, and numbers.
Corresponding exercises for these rules are in the RULES program, including the RULES BY THE SOUND workbook and online pronunciation platform.
Use this handy, portable guide to help reinforce what you are teaching or studying with our ESL RULES materials.
