Let’s grow our vocabulary and confidence in public speaking each week with this highly interactive class! Public speaking is the #1 most common fear for adults. In addition to that, many people struggle to express themselves clearly due to having a weak vocabulary. Our goal is to make it a fun adventure for learners so that they will become confident and comfortable while learning new words each week! We use the Flocabulary list recommended for learners in 2nd-3rd grade. Examples: famous, rumor, career, island Learners will read words and definitions aloud, make up sentences, and come up with some synonyms to aid in our understanding. Then we will play a Kahoot or Bingo game to help retain the information. We will also incorporate different games and public speaking prompts as time allows. Learners will be provided the list of words one week in advance and will be tied to current events when possible. Week of <1/7/24>: Verbs Week of <1/14/24>: Nouns Week of <1/21/24>: Adjectives Week of <1/28/24>: Nouns Note that we also offer a more advanced class for ages 8-12.

Hello! I'm Elizabeth Green, founder of Green Communications and My Speech and Debate Coach.
I'm honored to lead a small group of teachers with a passion for helping kids learn how to communicate confidently and effectively in public speaking situations.
We all have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree with a focus on communications (Broadcast Journalism, Theater, Public Relations, etc). We have won numerous awards, competitions and national titles in public speaking and debate.
But most importantly, we know how it feels to be uncomfortable in a public speaking situation, and the importance of overcoming that. We all went through shy stages as children until we had that ONE teacher who impacted us in a way that propelled us to self-confidence, public speaking competitions, and even careers in communications!
Whether it's having the courage to stand up and spell an unknown word in a spelling bee, write and/or deliver compelling lines from a play, craft an effective impromptu speech, or seal the deal in a debate tournament with a persuasive closing round, our goal is to BE that teacher for your child.
And, have a lot of fun in the process. :)
