Akila Farween
When I heard about SPEAK for the first time, I was so glad to know about this kind of done by Mr.Farweez I decided to enrol my son without a second thought; as I know him from my childhood, I knew he’ll do a great job. My son is in Level 2 at SPEAK and I can see a clear improvement in his public speaking skill. Thanks and good luck to SPEAK!

Introduction
5 to 7 year old kids are great story tellers. They love stories. Observe a school van: all the kids are wrapped in animated conversations about what happened in school, and the way they effortlessly enact their people around them and poke fun at each other are all witness to the fact that kids this age love stories.
The ability to tell a story come naturally and instinctively to kids; and kids do it better than adults. So at Speak, we play on this natural strength and help them grow authentically by creating the suitable environment to nurture and develop this inherent skill of speaking and storytelling.
This course for 5 to 7 year old kids is designed to facilitate an environment for these natural storytellers to speak just as animatedly on stage and in front of ‘strangers’ by preserving their authentic public speaking and expressive skills.

ORATR Model
1. Observe – Observing is the first step in achieving personality transformation. This stems from the realization that each child is unique. Therefore, the coach will first observe the kids and understand them before expecting them to understand the coach.
2. Recognize – Following the initial observation the coach will Recognize the factors of motivation, strengths and weaknesses of the kids, and the unique characteristics of each child’s personality that call for special attention and record them.
3. Act – The coach will get down to the level of the students and address their needs instead of expecting the students to come up to the coach’s level and meet his needs. This is the level where the coach devises a personalized curriculum by Acting on the factors which were already Recognized.
4. Transform – The result of Acting is Transformation. A student who finds the process of learning and development personalized will feel engaged with the coach and her methods. As a result of building rapport and trust, active engagement and implementation of the skills the student begins to achieve a positive personality transformation.
5. Repeat – In the event where the expected transformation doesn’t occur the coach will return to the first step of ORATR, which is Observe and Repeat the process once again. However, the coach would now attempt to discover the factors or elements she might have missed during the initial implementation of ORATR.
