“Completion Temptation” is a program where a few words are intentionally left out while singing a familiar song or reading a familiar book, with a pause to encourage the student to fill in the blanks. When students provide the missing words or phrases, the activity resumes, and they are rewarded for their efforts. This approach is especially beneficial for students, as it helps them grasp the power of language and enhances their speaking and communication abilities.
