Some will say that schwa can appear in a one syllable word. In Orton Gillingham, schwa is not a one-and-done concept. For this reason, I put it early in the Scope & Sequence and review the concept again later in the Scope & Sequence, and review the concept often in between, when appropriate. Schwa is the most common vowel sound in the English language. Schwa is represented with an upside-down e.īecause any a, e, i, o, u, or y can make this sound, and even some letter combinations, it can be a tough concept at first, and makes spelling these words even harder. Any vowel can do this and some vowel combinations make the sound as well, for example, doct or (the or takes on a schwa sound) or doll ar, (the ar is a schwa). Schwa is a term used when a vowel takes on (or gets “swallowed up” by) the “uh” (?) sound. I’ve written about Schwa before, but I’m seeing a lot of questions around this topic so I want to take a deeper dive into the topic of Schwa.
