Hi everyoneJennifer from Tarle speech with your two for Tuesday. We have two words today:
need to require and
knead to mix dough
To say these words correctly – three little sounds!
Let’s start with that n. Touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth. To be super specific the spot where your teeth meet the roof of your mouth, the skin part there, and the air will move through your nose. Next smile. Nice high flat tongue for that long e and then touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth again for that d. D. And your tongue pulls down while the air puffs out for that d.
Let’s put it all together
need need need
knead knead knead
And now for a sentence you need to knead the dough more.
