Reading Aloud Practice – Tongue Twisters – French GCSE Speaking

A worksheet to develop confident and accurate reading aloud using tongue twisters tailored to GCSE topics.

While the format is engaging and accessible, the tasks are designed to draw attention to key sounds (such as the French “r”, nasal sounds and common grapheme–sound links), helping students to notice and apply pronunciation features that are expected in the speaking exam.

What’s included:

• A structured “sound focus” section to guide attention to key pronunciation features
• 10 carefully crafted tongue twisters based on sounds from the AQA sample paper
• Two audio recordings (at natural speaking pace)
• A classification task based on exam vocabulary
• A short paragraph for applied reading aloud practice with exam tips
• Available in PDF and editable PPTX, colour and black-and-white versions

Designed for GCSE French (Foundation and Higher), this resource works well as a focused speaking activity, a revision task, an end-of-term lesson or a low-stakes way to build authentic pronunciation while reinforcing exam skills.

I hope you find it useful.
