Phonetic Symbols - Ordinary Parents Guide


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I bought the ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading by Jessie Wise and creating my own flash cards with the phonetic symbols to use with the lessons. I though I might be able to do them on word doc but don't know how to paste the symbols on the vowels or alphabet characters. How did the publisher get those symbols printed in the book? Is there another font downloadable online?

Okay, I had a look at the 'symbol' font in word starter but the symbols used on page 369, are not there. Even if they were there, how would I put them above the alphabets/vowels? (I just wanted to type out the cards and print them out on card stock).

In Word, go to Insert, then Symbol. You should find what you need in the list.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I saw the symbols but they seem different, and there isn't an upside down v, the two dots or upside down e. There is a u shape one....I suppose I can use two full stops for the two dots and dash for the other one.

You can also go to your start menu and type "character map" in the search. It will bring up all the different characters. Just find the one you want, then copy and paste to your document. You can even change the font to match the one you've chosen to use.

Thanks everyone for helping me out - really appreciate the feedbacks.

 

Yaucabird I haven't a clue about changing subsets to Latin A.

 

Michelle, it was much easier finding the character map than using the shortcuts. There were still some symbols missing e.g. the 'oo' symbols, but Wikipedia has them all. I'll just copy & paste from there. I will use the character map though esp. for Urdu & Arabic alphabet.

 

If anyone else is looking for the phonetic symbols, here they all are:

Many thanks :)

When in Symbols, change the subset (right) to Latin Extended-A or another subset.

 

Thanks. I just found the Latin A subset - so easy. However I still couldn't find these double o signs with u or dash above them in the middle (probably hiding).
