How to use Speak Up Stories

  • Read Together Out Loud

    Read the stories aloud with your child, taking turns or reading together. Let them hear how words are pronounced and how sentences flow.Reading aloud builds reading fluency, pronunciation, and natural speech rhythm. Hearing words spoken also improves vocabulary retention.

  • Listen to the CD

    Play the CD each day while your child follows along in the books. Start with the regular speed, then gradually introduce the 2x and 4x speed tracks. Listening at different speeds strengthens auditory processing and improves concentration. Fast-speed listening trains the right brain to absorb language patterns more intuitively.

  • Practice Reciting

    Choose a few short sentences from the stories and have your child try saying them from memory. Encourage them to use actions or voice changes for fun.

    Reciting helps your child commit useful phrases to memory and improves verbal confidence. This practice strengthens language recall and builds conversation skills.

  • Make It Part of Your Daily Routine

    Use the books during quiet time, bedtime, or daily reading sessions. Repetition builds familiarity and turns learning into a comfortable habit.

    Regular, relaxed exposure to reading and speaking in English helps children retain what they learn. It also boosts their motivation and enjoyment.
