To help 9th graders talk more clearly, I use a mix of practice, fun activities, and helpful tips. Here’s how I do it:
Daily Read-Alouds: Every day, I set aside time for students to read out loud. This helps them practice saying words clearly. I choose different types of texts, like poems and short stories, to keep things interesting.
Tongue Twisters: These are not just fun, but also very helpful! They let students practice moving their mouths and can make the class lively. I enjoy using popular tongue twisters as warm-up activities.
Peer Presentations: When students present in front of their classmates, it boosts their confidence. It gives them a chance to practice speaking clearly in a supportive environment. I encourage them to notice how they use their voices and how clear they sound.
Articulation Games: Simple games where students repeat phrases or correct their pronunciation make learning enjoyable. This gives them a relaxed way to improve their speaking skills.
Feedback: Ongoing feedback is really important. I focus on giving helpful advice, so students can see what they need to improve and also celebrate what they do well.
Using these techniques, I’ve seen my students get much better at speaking clearly and confidently!
