Our
Special Projects
Tongue
Twister Exchange
We are so
excited to be hosting a Tongue Twister Exchange. Each class will each claim an alphabet
letter. The students will create a tongue twister to illustrate and share with the group.
Each participating class will end up with a binder of 26 tongue twisters. This activity
falls under the language arts standards-alliteration/writing poetry.
Mail out date is
mid-October.
Just in,,,,, some pictures from my 2007
project.
Take a peek at
the project I did in 2005.
What are the
benefits of writing and reading tongue twisters?
Tongue twisters
help to develop phonemic awareness. As children listen for beginning sounds that are alike
their brains become pattern detectors. As they look at the tongue twister, they see the
same beginning letter in print. Tongue twisters help link phonemic awareness (oral) and
phonics (visual).
