Tongue Twisters Key Stages 1 and 2 Click and Go! Good diction is NOT about changing your accent or making you ‘talk posh’. It is about clarity - making sure what you say is heard and comprehended correctly. The most commonly known and used diction exercises are tongue twisters. These 100 tongue twisters will develop children’s listening skills and improve alliteration, pronunciation, diction and vocal technique.
