I have used tongue twisters as an aid for my own son, who has a speech and language disorder. He loves trying to say them as fast as he can, and often manages very well. I have been using them as a training method for over two years now, introducing new ones every so often. The hardest ones for him are the ones where his mouth has to change shape quickly, as in “she sells sea shells”. I decided to sit down with him and look at them from a new angle, and so we read “peter piper” and discussed what it was all about. He quickly understood that the predominate sound was p. He finds this the hardest one to say fast, possibly because most of the words are not words that he would use normally. I know he enjoyed this, because since then he has been making up his own tongue twisters for me to try!
