About the Book

Say goodbye to fear of writing and public speaking in your home! Your teen can become a confident, skilled communicator! Teens learn to communicate effectively through writing and speaking in Communication 101: Essays and Speeches where students read classic essays before they write one. They listen to skilled orators before they give their own speeches and read one living book a month. Communication 101: Essays & Speeches, a one-credit high school English course, can be used at home or in a group setting.

Before we give a speech, we listen to a skilled orator. We start simple with reading a picture book aloud expressively. Your own family will make a great audience for your teen or combine with another family to get a bigger audience for speeches. This course has been a huge success in the co-op setting and even shy teens have enjoyed the challenge of speaking in front of their peers.
