Every child deserves an effective, powerful voice. Speaking is the #1 language art. By far. Let's be intentional about teaching oral communication skills.

NEVER POST SOMETHING WITHOUT VERIFYING THE SOURCE!
No, "the Internet" is not a source. Is there a "He said this on Page 114 of _____" or "This is from a speech on April 14, ___"? Be better, be less lazy. pvlegs.blog/2024/07/18/fakeq…

And, as my friend @PVLEGS would say, speaking. Students need explicit instruction in speaking and verbal communication just as they do in those other domains.

What do you want to be when you grow up? We expect students to answer as if we had asked, "What job do you want when you grow up?" Change the question.

Fear of public speaking is greatly overrated. Just teach people how to do it and the fear goes away. Stop making students present without teaching them how to present. pvlegs.com

When you come back to the classroom, don't waste time burying your walls with things no students ever look at. #breakthemold #berealistic
