Do you know what the most common sound in the English language is?
It isnt a short or long vowel sound.
What is the Schwa Sound?
But all it really is an unaccented syllable that makes the /uh/ sound.
One way to begin this process is to let the children practice tapping out words.
For example, have them tap out the word panda.
Have them tap harder on the syllable part that is accented, and softer on the unaccented syllable.
