Learning Goal - for the student to be able to find a clarity in their speech and to begin building better pronunciation skills. FOCUS - Tongue-Twisters NOTE: This is a warm-up and you should say these lightly, but in a good tempo. Never go faster than you are able to go physically. GOAL: Keep the clarity of each word in the phrase! *********************** Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. That's a peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked. However, if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked? A tutor who tooted the flute, Tried to tutor two tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor, "Is it easier to toot, Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"* Bobby Bibbit bought a bat. Bobby Bibbit bought a ball with the bat. Bob banged the ball with the bat and banged the bat against a wall.
