Cool Talkers is a Cherokee School speech and language classroom program derived from the Lindamood Lips® Program. This Cherokee program is for kindergarten and 1st grades that focuses on the actions of the lip, tongue, and mouth that produce the sounds students hear in words. Sounds are introduced in pairs (Brothers) and labeled quiet or noisy, based on vibrations of the vocal cords. These sounds have names that help students remember the parts of the mouth that are used to produce the sounds. Home practice sheets help to associate the sound with a word.
