The first three chapters set a solid foundation for the readers. Every student at any Senior Secondary School level should know the distinction between the alphabet and phonetic symbols. Such should equally know what transcription is and how to transcribe phonemically.
The subsequent chapters dealt elaborately with major issues that stand as stumbling blocks for candidates. Their contents adequately prepare any student to withstand any question in all sections. The book revealed how Plural and Past Tense markers, consonant clusters, silent letters, homophones and malapropism are used to test students’ basic knowledge of English phonology.
