al, ey and tion words
There are hundreds of words that end with “tion”, so tion words are much more common than those containing “al” or “ey”.
Two of the most common sounds of “al” in words (not on the end) are /or/ in walk, talk, chalk and /ar/ in half, calf, calm.
What is the first thing that a 4-year-old “beetle” does at the opening of a playground with a wall that has a sloping top so that children cannot walk on it? (Video 1)
The two sounds of “ey” on the end of words are /E/ in key, valley, money … and /A/ in they, grey (US gray), obey … (Video 2)
Some “tion words” are very long. Always split them into syllables to read and spell them.
Some examples of “tion words” are action (ac-tion) and reflections (re-flec-tions). These brothers (aged 16 and 10) love to make action videos. Great when their grandmother needs an example for “tion words”. (Video 3)
