If this is your child's first Outschool class, contact me before enrolling for a special Outschool discount.   

In this ongoing (once per week for as long as your child is enrolled) small group speaking and social class, learners will be encouraged to participate in discussion of everyday topics in order to increase their confidence in expressing their opinions, speaking with detail, thinking logically, and learning how to include themselves in conversation. They will also practice important conversational skills such as waiting for their turn, listening to others and staying on topic. 

Simple topics such as animals, sports, and food will help children feel comfortable. We will also discuss how to give simple directions and practice story telling with and without pictures, ask questions clearly, giving a book report, movie review or book review, making a simple commercial, and joining a group conversation.  

Many of the ideas for class discussions come directly from the learners. We will also include share time at the end of each class where children may tell about something that interests them personally. Teaching children to effectively communicate is a skill that will benefit them for a lifetime.
