This quick and easy flipbook has all the answers for kids who find it difficult to speak in front of the class. It offers suggestions on making presentations more memorable by deciding what to say, why to say it, and how to do so in ways that arrest the attention of the audience and keep them involved until the very end. The book shows how to build confidence by moving from sharing informally in pairs to presenting in small groups to performing in front of the class. Timely "Dos and Don'ts", lists of "Top Ten Tips", and assessment charts for oral language round out this remarkable resource — perfect for students and teachers alike!
