As we dive into another homeschool year, many of us are trying to settle into a rhythm that works for our families. With lessons, activities, and everyday life to juggle, finding balance can feel like a challenge—especially when it comes to preparing for Classical Conversations presentations.
In Classical Conversations Foundations, our kids give weekly presentations, which is a fantastic way to build their public speaking skills early on. But let’s be honest, preparing for those presentations can sometimes feel like just another thing to add to the to-do list. I’ve been there, and I remember struggling to get my kids to practice their presentations at home. I knew how important it was, but we always seemed to be cramming at the last minute!
That’s why I’m so thankful for Public Speaking for Kids. It’s been a total game changer for us. This open-and-go curriculum is super easy to use—no prep work required! You can just open the book and jump right in. It’s designed to fit right into your weekly routine, so there’s no need to stress about squeezing in extra planning time.
What I love most is that it only takes a few minutes a day. Each lesson focuses on one simple speaking skill, like making eye contact, using gestures, or organizing thoughts. These little steps add up throughout the week, so when presentation day comes around in Foundations, your child is ready to go—no last-minute scrambling or stress.
And the best part? It fits naturally into whatever you’re already doing. Whether your child is presenting on history, science, or a favorite hobby, the curriculum helps them feel confident and prepared. A little bit of practice each day goes a long way, and you’ll both feel more relaxed come presentation time.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by how to fit it all in, I highly recommend Public Speaking for Kids. It’s simple, requires no extra prep from you, and works beautifully alongside Classical Conversations. With this resource, you can help your kids build a strong foundation in public speaking, all while keeping your homeschool week manageable and stress-free.
Plus, it’s available in both digital and print versions, so you can choose what works best for your family! Head over to Big Brain Buzz to learn more!!
