LISTEN TO THE AUDIO OF THE TONGUE TWISTER, PAYING ATTENTION TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF /Y/ AND /J/ SOUNDS. Young, gentle John was envious of jolly Yally, the mayor, for his giant yacht, so John watched Yally for a year, over bridges, through canyons, and beyond. John became educated on Yallys allergy of yolk, so he put yellow yolk in his juice and yogurt. Yally drank the juice and yogurt and yelled, Yuck! but then he injected himself with a major shot, did some yoga and was jolly. Johns behavior was a failure so he figured he would schedule a session with a shrink named June. Her opinion was Johns coyote like reality was no joke, thus assigning him to a judicious psychological pharmacology for ages. FIND ALL OF THE WORDS WITH THE /Y/ AND /J/ SOUND AND CATEGORIZE THEM INTO THE CORRECTION POSITION ACCORDING TO SYLLABLE. DO NOT COUNT REPEATS.
