Note to recorder:
Hi there. Please make one single recording for this chant, but read it twice – the first reading at your normal/natural speed, and the other at your slow speed.
My students are in grade 4, so I think the first part of the recording with your normal speed will be extremely beneficial to their listening experience as the speed will be challenging enough, and they will have to pay attention to what you’re saying!
On the other hand, the second part with your slow one will help them easily identify different sounds, and hopefully make it easier for them to imitate your pronunciation.
Thank you!
This is Ken with his pet.
He loves his pet.

My accent probably makes "Ken" sound like "Kin." From where I am from in the United States, this is a common accent where the sounds of "e" and "i" can be the same. For example, I say the words "pen" and "pin" exactly the same. (This is called the PIN-PEN Merger.) However, most American speakers will say "pen" and "pin" using two different sounds.
