Hi, Joanne. I like Hall's variation on the old model-lead-test strategy. I need to read more about it, but it sounds a tad more macro level than the direct instructional strategy:
(a) "Listen to me. I can say 'sit' slowly. Sssiiit."
Posted by: John Lloyd | April 09, 2009 11:29 AM(b) "Let's do it together. We'll say 'sit' slowly: Sssiiit."
(c) "Your turn. All by yourself. Say 'sit' slowly." (Of course, the words would change from practice opportunity to practice opportunity.)
