What students do in class

Many young children know what they want to say but are unsure how to say it in front of others. Junior Speakers uses stories, games, show-and-tell and guided discussion to help them organise ideas, speak clearly and respond respectfully. The activities feel familiar and enjoyable while building communication skills children can use at school and in everyday conversations.

What they’ll learn

  • Stand and speak with a clear voice
  • Organise ideas before sharing them
  • Tell stories with a beginning, middle and end
  • Listen and respond respectfully
  • Feel more comfortable speaking in a group

How students progress

Students become more willing to contribute in class, explain what they think and speak in front of a group.

Who this program suits

Children in Grades 1–3 who are new to structured speaking or would benefit from a playful, supportive introduction.
