Weekly Tip #9
By Faith Beaton
Here is your weekly tip.
Tongue Twisters:)
In searching for something for
Brianna, I came across a list of tongue twisters she used a few years ago.
I thought this would be a great tip because they can be so fun, silly and
challenging. They help with having clear speech, proper pronunciation and strong
communication skills. These skills alone are highly important in
academics, professional and personal worlds.
The great thing about it is that
everyone in your family can participate in these tongue twisters. Why not
have a family activity with it. Include the whole family in these family
activities and pick tongue twisters that not only everyone is bad at, but also
twisters that everyone is good at, as to bolster confidence and encourage the
other players. Challenge each other to master the tongue twisters as quickly as
they can. Also try turning tongue twisters into a song or a story that parents
and children can both enjoy.
Brianna has not done it in a while,
but we plan on having some fun with these twisters this weekend.
Below you will find a list of
tongue twisters A to Z.
Hope this helps.
Have a good day and a better
weekend.

Nott. However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott - but Nott. So, Ed Nott was
shot and that's hot! Is it not?
