Weekly Speaking Practice Plan for Kids at Home

Dreaming of our kids being good communicators and public speakers is every parent's desire. And it is not at all difficult if a proper routine is followed for improving kids’ fluency and confidence. Starting from a young age the kids can easily master the skills. With the help of fun games, activities, simple to-do tasks and easy challenges, each and every kid can be a good communicator.

These activities help the child to speak without fear and make them expressive. Furthermore, they learn to organise their thoughts while speaking and use better vocabulary. Even a few minutes of practice every day can help the kid to become a confident speaker.
