Able 2 Shine
Public Speaking
Able2Shine's public speaking program is tailored towards kids 7-15 with 5 level courses in 3 age ranges. In order to build a solid foundation, we recommend consistent practice through completion of all levels of the course. Fundamentals valued by our core curriculum are techniques such as tone, stage presence, volume, gestures, posture, eye contact, etc. Our curriculum contains fun and fresh activities to help students with diverse backgrounds and different learning styles understand the concepts behind these fundamentals.
We will show how to apply these essential skills in real life situations. In addition to public speaking skills, we will also delve into the realm of soft skills, as we weave the various topics into our curriculum, such as how to make self-introduction and leave a great first impression, etc. Topics broached include first impression, communication, empathy, and anti-bullying, etc. We aim to boost the students’ self-confidence and leadership to help them become more adaptable in the ever-changing world.
