Elementary English Speaking Curriculum
When it comes to elementary-level English, the focus is often on practical skills, especially listening and speaking. Practical English? How do I even begin? Many parents find it overwhelming to think of their child conversing with a native speaker when they are just starting to learn English.
But did you know that English speaking can become a self-led experience for your child? With SeedLearning’s comprehensive Speaking curriculum, children can draft their own scripts, watch native speaker videos, and build up to a full presentation, step by step.
Our curriculum spans not just one level but eight meticulously designed levels (+α), allowing children to advance at their own pace. Let’s explore some of these exceptional speaking resources.
