ACTIVITIES WITH ACUTE AND CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT

Acute and caret activities can help children to diversify their acute and caret accents, especially through the sound they make when speaking.

This activity aims to:

Distinguish the acute accent from the circumflex accent;

Properly use acute and circumflex accents in words;

Develop reading and speaking skills;

Follow guidelines to carry out activities;

Develop creativity.

1. Copy the words with an acute accent: José, powder, foot, sofa, Ceará, nanny, will be, cafe, page, store.
2. Copy the words by placing the acute accent on the appropriate syllable: Popsicle, vine, tide, glasses, cup, tree.
3. Copy the words, separate the syllables and give the number of syllables for each word.

The caret is used to indicate the closed sound of vowels.

1. Copy the words with the caret: baby, baby, grandpa, swimsuit, robot, subway, Portuguese, three, peach, blade.
2. Accent the words. Then separate the syllables: you, peach, bus, light bulb, subway, tennis.
3. Complete sentences with the appropriate word.

We must respect traffic signs.

The lamp is on.

We went to the bus tour.

On the traffic lights there are three different colors.

The activities talk about: Make sentences with words of the synonym, write a list of words that appear in consonant clusters, text interpretation, rewrite the sentences changing the pictures by the plural, consult a dictionary and find out which words of each group should be sharp.

In our writing, vowels are represented, in most cases, with basic graphemes without diacritics (a, e, i, o, u). A reduced number of vowels, however, is represented using the acute and circumflex accents (á, â, é, ê, í, ó, ô, ú).

The accent mainly helps us to know how words are pronounced.

The acute accent ( ´ ) marks a more open pronunciation; the caret ( ^ ) marks a closed pronunciation, and both will always mark the stressed syllable of the word, that is, the one that is spoken with more force, greater intensity.
