The problem with schwa (which makes it a very confusing sound to teach and for children, especially those with reading and spelling difficulties), is that it may be represented in a word by any one of the vowel sounds (as well as a whole range of other graphemes such as ‘er’) and it can sound different in different dialects of English.įor this reason, rather than teaching schwa, I teach my students to ‘over pronounce’. It occurs in unaccented words and syllables and is the most commonly occurring sound in English. Linguistically, schwa (represented using the symbol ǝ) is an unaccented vowel sound that sounds something like an unclear grunt.
