Fox in Socks Links
* Text of Fox in Socks
* Youtube Video: The classic Fox in Socks book by Dr. Seuss accompanied by the classic LP recording performed by Marvin Miller (with Marty Gold and his orchestra).



[In an effort to keep track of useful materials--so I can find it again when I need it--I'm going to start including links to stuff that I've had good luck with using in class. I'm going to index it, along with my own materials, over here and here.   The above link is to materials that I've used successfully for a pronunciation lesson.
Update: A colleague of mine told me that she does running dictations with tongue twisters, so after going through the above video and texts with my students, I had them do running dictations.  (One student goes outside the room to read the words, and then must report back to their partner, who writes down the words.)  So below is my running dictations sheets for "Fox in Socks".  The dictation form and answers on Google here (drive, docs, pub), and the words for posting outside the classroom are here (drive, docs, pub).]


1. Who sews crow's clothes? 
Sue sews crow's clothes. 
Slow Joe Crow sews whose clothes?
  Sue's Clothes.
2. If, sir, you, sir, choose to chew,
sir, with the Goo-Goose, chew, sir.
 Do sir.
3. Through three cheese trees three
free fleas flew. While these fleas
flew, freezy breeze blew.
4. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke
