It is very helpful to improve pronunciation. The point is not to read them quickly, but to read them slowly while focusing on how you shape the words in your mouth. Any given tongue twister focuses on a particular sound which gives you the opportunity to focus on it in isolation. One of the pleasures of teaching English is to see students’ faces light up when they realize that they have the potential to sound like native speakers by being aware of the phonetic sounds/letters that comprise the sound of any given word.
