I was thrilled recently to hear fronm Anette Fritsch in Germany who said she has been using the Speak Well Student Handbooks for some time.
Greetings, if you're reading this, Anette - hope you're enjoying the Teacher's Kit.

Congratulations to Sue and all her team for the organisation of the gifted and talented program for Yrs 5-8 in Mackay. The students were just brilliant and seemed to really thrive in the presentation skills workshops I ran. I have since received some lovely feedback from the students - they are a brilliant bunch of kids!
They loved the exercises...further evidence that the only way to build confidence in this area is to get them doing it.

I spoke to the English Department at Ferny Grove State High School last week and was very impressed with their approach. They recognise the benefit of presentation skills to their students and have a great commitment to helping their students achieve in this area with clearly focussed speaking assignments.
