Tongue twisters have been proven to:
1) clarify the pronunciation of words
2) strengthen and stretch the muscles which you use to speak
3) show you what words and sounds you have trouble pronouncing.
Ask the students to repeat the phrase after you. Then have everyone say it in unison at least three times, getting faster and faster each time. Stress diction.
