Ladle Rat Rotten Hut is a phonetic re-telling of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. This site is enhanced by sound capabilities available through the plug-in "RealAudio helper" which can be downloaded from the site. Even if you do not have sound capabilities on your computer or do not want to download the plug-in, you will still be able to do the exercises. Read this story out loud. If you have sound capabilities and are able to download the plug-in, you can also listen to the story.In spite of the fact that the words on the page are very different from the meanings intended by the words, can you understand the text by listening? What does this show us about the importance of intonation in language comprehension?
Although the words on the page are different from the meanings, it is still possible to understand the text by listening. The importance of intonation in language comprehension is that it is a form of non-verbal communication - that can only be conveyed by speech. This is what makes speaking easier than writing.
