Comments

Say this sentence which contains lots of words with /l/ and /r/ sounds.

  • ‘Lily likes writing on the right not the left lines.’

This is a tongue twister – a sentence that is difficult to say when you speak quickly! Write a tongue twister using the /l/ and /r/ sounds. We'd love to read them!
