It’s Connected Speech Club 19!

The latest edition of Connected Speech Club is here!

There was great excitement today in Connected Speech Club with the World Premiere of our brand new lesson about VC Connections. Check it out!

We also strayed into reduplicatives – rhyming words, like ‘lovey-dovey’ and ‘bye bye’, many of which have VC connections.

It is well worth a watch!
