[Tips to use tongue twisters for developing speech]

When learning a language like English, it is important to learn the correct pronunciation right away, not to correct your pronunciation at some point in the future. Tongue-twisters is a fun way to improve pronunciation and fluency. They are a type of diction or articulation exercise, which helps you learn to speak clearly. They help in memorizing a new word. Its because when your kids do a thing repeatedly it gets imprinted in their brain and then its no longer new.

Tips to use tongue twisters for developing speech
   (1) Start reciting the tongue twisters at a slow pace and ensure it is able to be recited clearly
   (2) The next step would be to know the tongue twister by heart.
   (3) Repeat the tongue twister as fast as possible until it is mastered and able to be recited three times in a row without stumbling.
   (4) When one tongue twister is mastered, try another.

We use tongue twisters to improve the child’s constant and vowel sounds. Examples of ‘p’ tongue twisters include: Peter Piper, Pheasant plucker. Examples of ‘s’ tongue twisters include: Seventy seven, Swan Swam.

Learn a few tongue twisters and repeat them several times each day and you will see a noticeable improvement. Get tongue twisting: https://learning.covoji.com/english/practice-pronunciation-in-english-with-tongue-twisters/

The tongue    is an organ, or body part, in the mouth. It is made up of a group of muscles.  These muscles perform the different jobs of the tongue. The front part of the tongue is very flexible and can move around a lot, working with the teeth to create different types of words. This part also helps you eat by helping to move food around your mouth while you chew. The muscles in the back of your tongue help you make certain sounds, like the letters "k" and hard "g" (like in the word "go").  Learn more: https://learning.covoji.com/curious-world/is-the-tongue-a-muscle/

Having a great memory can help your child do better in learning, perform well in school, and achieve better grades. Memory retention is a complicated process. We may need to use several methods in combination to enhance working memory. Here are some simple techniques that help you to train your children for better memory power.

(1) Encouraging your child to ask questions helps ensure he or she is developing a deeper comprehension of the topic. Make learning more engaging for your child by having discussions about different topics, asking your child what he or she thinks.

(2) Rhymes, songs and music are the the best sources of verbal exercises. Your child can use their voice to train their brain to remember and recall information.

(3) Connect all senses together. Color, shades, tastes, touch, language and  imagination play an important role to  improve short-term memory in children. Take a multi-sensory approach to learning by using sight, touch, and sound—read aloud, have a conversation or discussion.

(4) Give your child’s brain a nutritional boost. Fatty fish like salmon are an excellent source of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, both essential for brain growth and function. Egg are well-known as a great protein source. Berries and colorful veggies like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, spinach keep brain cells strong and healthy.
