🧪 The Lab Rule: A tongue twister is a sentence that is tricky to say. Long words slow you down — until you learn the chunks! Read the long words chunk-by-chunk on the slow round. Then speed up. Each time you read one without tripping, color in a star. ⭐

📝 Parent note: Tongue twisters build fluency by forcing automatic chunk recognition. Don't worry about perfect pronunciation — the goal is repeating each twister three times, slightly faster each round. Color in a star (or just tick it) each time the child reads a twister cleanly. Aim for 1 round (8 twisters × 3 speeds) per session over several days. Celebrate badges loudly!
