The first steps in speaking well for ages 7-10: games, storytelling and short prepared talks that build voice, structure and confidence. In person in Barsha Heights.
About this course
The first steps in speaking well: standing up, being heard, and enjoying it. Through games, storytelling and short prepared talks, students learn to organise an idea, project their voice, use their hands and eyes, and think on their feet - with filmed before-and-after clips so parents can see the change. Every child speaks in every session. Eight weekly two-hour sessions per term at our centre in I-Rise Tower, Barsha Heights, capped at eight students. The first session is a free trial.
