Skills to be developed with Speak Up Stories Stage 2

  • Strengthens Listening and Reading Comprehension

    By hearing fluent English spoken at different speeds, children sharpen their listening skills and improve how well they follow and understand stories. This builds stronger reading comprehension and supports classroom learning.

  • Grows Vocabulary and Expression

    Each story features common phrases, questions, and everyday vocabulary that children can use right away. By hearing and reading these words in context, kids learn how to express themselves more clearly and naturally.

  • Encourages Confident Speaking

    Reading aloud and reciting stories helps children become more comfortable speaking in full sentences. This practice supports better pronunciation, fluency, and the confidence to communicate clearly in school and social settings.

How to use Speak Up Stories Stage 2

  • Listen to the CD

    Play the CD for about 30 minutes to 1 hour a day. Start with the regular speed, then try 2x and 4x speed.

    Listening at faster speeds helps strengthen auditory processing and activates the right brain, building stronger listening comprehension and fluency.

  • Read Together Out Loud

    Sit with your child and read each story aloud. Use the pictures to help with understanding, and encourage your child to follow along.

    This supports pronunciation, rhythm, and natural speech patterns in a fun, low-pressure way.

  • Practice Reciting

    After a few read-throughs, ask your child to repeat sentences or entire stories from memory.

    Reciting helps boost vocabulary, sentence structure, and confidence when speaking in full sentences.

  • Make It Part of Your Daily Routine

    Use the books during storytime, in the car, or as a quiet evening activity.

    Daily exposure keeps language learning enjoyable and consistent, reinforcing strong reading and speaking habits over time.
