Speech – Feel It
You open your mouth and you start talking. Your brain doesn’t need to focus on what your mouth is doing in order to form the words that convey your message.
But this time, stop and feel the letters as your mouth forms them.
- How many letters require your tongue to touch the roof of your mouth? (The letter ‘L’ is one)
- How many require air to be pushed through your teeth. (Of course, you must include the letter ‘S’)
- How many do you feel in the back of your throat? (‘H’ gets back in my throat)
Name some more ways to feel letters.
