But did you know that when your kids are having fun with tongue twisters, they’re actually building foundational reading skills? Think of tongue twisters as a literacy workout. Because tongue twisters challenge our capacity to enunciate the individual sounds in each word so we don’t trip up, they force us to pay careful attention to the precise sounds in each word.
