Oral Presentations

Did you know that there is an Illinois state learning standard for school children to "speak effectively?"

As the school year draws to a close, many students in District 66 will be giving oral reports and speeches in their classrooms. Mrs. DeYoung will be visiting various classes to observe students speaking in front of a group. Several speech and language groups will be practicing oral presentation skills during speech therapy sessions.

Oral Presentations

Look at the audience-
Eyes on the listeners, not your notes!


Stand up straight-
Try not to slump or sway


Speak up-
You want to be heard


Speak slowly-
Not too fast, you want to be understood


Use your clear speech


SMILE-You will do great!
