Description of practice- Tongue twisters help develop phonemic awareness. Students listen to beginning sounds to find the pattern. Students can also see the same beginning pattern in print. Tongue twisters can be found in books, teacher-made, or student made.

Delivery Models- Tongue twisters can be utilized in a whole group lesson, in pairs during centers, or to asses phonological awareness of individual students. In a co-taught class, both teachers can teach the lesson whole group, work in one of the tongue twister centers, or pull students and work one-on-one to asses their phonological awareness.

Description of Practices- When students are learning how to pronounce different vowels, this strategy can help them by illustrating the mouth positions necessary to make each vowel. For example, a smile position is needed to say long e, long i, and long a.

Delivery Models- This strategy can be introduced whole group, then practiced in either small groups or with individual students. In a co-taught class, each teacher can have a small group, to show the students the proper mouth positions. Then, the teachers can work one-on-one with each student to check for comprehension.

Description of practices- The prefix match up game has students move a spider to catch the “prefix bug” that matches the root word on the computer. This review strategy can be used after a lesson on prefixes.
