Helping children to Speak

'Helping children to speak' is a 48 page manual written by Serena Greenslade A.N.E.A.


Let me introduce myself. I'm Serena and years ago I was a terrified child who was too frightened to speak.

My school life from the age of 5 - 11 was awful. When I was 10 my mum took me to Elocution lessons and I have to say it was proabably the most useful thing I have ever done.

Not only has it given me my career (I qualified as a speech trainer) but more importantly it gave me the confidence to speak!

I have now written a manual which explains to you, as parents how to encourage your children to speak more clearly. Although this is written for parents the information is particularly good for anyone of any age who has to give a talk, speech or presentation at school, college or work.

What are the benefits to your children if they can speak clearly?

  • Children who can speak clearly and confidently are happy children.
  • Children who can speak clearly and confidently are more likely to be top of their class because they're not frightened to speak to the teacher.
  • Children who can speak clearly and confidently are willing to join in social events - parties, clubs, sports etc. They don't need to have a parent with them all the time because they can speak for themselves.
  • Children who can speak clearly and confidently are successful children.
  • Confident, successful children sleep well at night.

'Helping your children to speak' is written so that anyone who can speak english can understand it. Yuu don't need to be an expert in phonetics or grammar and I guarantee that everyone will learn from this manual.

Your 48 page manual 'Helping your children to speak' will include all of the following:

  • There's a section on breathing for speaking (which is probably not the way you would expect to breathe)
  • It explains how you can read aloud to your children with ease
  • It shows how the sounds are made in your mouth so you can help your child with any sound they find difficult
  • It tells you how to help your child prepare a talk for school,what you need to do first and what and how you need to write it down
  • How should your child stand when they speak? It's all here.
  • It tells you how to practise, how your child should hold their speech and all about underlining.
  • Most people panic when they speak in front of people and this causes them to speak too quickly. In this 48 page book you'll find the simplest way in the world to slow down!
  • Another problem a lot of listeners have is that they find it hard to hear the speaker. Once again there's a simple remedy.
  • If your main problem is that you're stuck for a title, choose from the list in the book.
  • Learn from the list of 10 top tips for confident speaking.

Use this book to help your child now and keep dipping into it as they grow older. The information in this book will help young children, teenagers who have become too reliant on texts and emails, university students who find they have to give presentations at tutorials, adults in the workplace who suddenly find everyone else seems to sound more confident than they do!

Any one of any age will benefit from this information and if you just keep reminding your child of the tips in this book they won't need it again until they have children!

All of the information comes from personal experience, either mine or the people I have taught over the years.

For those of you who want a little more technical detail the importance of articulation and how to articulate is explained - which organs of speech to use for which sound. Expressive speech is explained using the four 'p's'.

There's a page in 'Helping children to speak' about reading aloud - children love to be read too.

One of the best ways to get better at speaking is to read out loud and for this reason there are 8 original poems included in 'Helping children to speak', written especially to be said aloud.

Finally, we come to the voice exercises. All parts of the body need exercise and the mouth is no different. Here you'll see how to exerise all the organs of speech.

I've included diagrams if I think it makes it easier for you to understand, all hand drawn so they show exactly what you need to know.

You can start helping your child in within the next 48 hours - this manual will be emailed to you and you can then print it out and read through it while you enjoy a nice cup of tea.

This book will help anyone who panics at the thought of speaking in public and that's a guarantee. I personally guarantee that everyone will learn at least one thing about speaking in public that they didn't already know or your money back!
