Short daily tongue-twister practice routine

A short daily tongue-twister practice routine can be around 3-5 minutes per day, focusing on clear and proper articulation of tricky sounds. Choose 2-3 tongue twisters that target specific challenging sounds, practice them slowly at first, and gradually increase the speed as clarity improves. Repeat each tongue twister 3-5 times, focusing on precise articulation and smoothness without stumbling.

Here is a simple example routine:

1. Warm-up by slowly pronouncing the tricky phonemes involved.
2. Practice the tongue twisters aloud 3 times each, starting slow, then increasing speed.
3. Examples of short tongue twisters to use:
   • “Unique New York” (focus on the “u” and “n” sounds)
   • “Red leather, yellow leather, lavender leather” (focus on “r”, “l”, “th” sounds)
   • “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”
4. End with repeating your favorite tongue twister several times clearly and confidently.

This daily exercise helps warm up your articulation muscles, improves pronunciation accuracy, and builds fluency over time with consistent practice. ^{1, 2, 3, 4}
