I am going to prepare the children for the NZ Speech Board ‘Oral Communication Assessment’ examination again this year. This will meet many of the English Curriculum strands as well as build confidence and self-esteem. The programme is designed to promote clear and effective oral communication, to develop language and listening skills, and to encourage courteous and confident sociable behaviour. A key factor of this programme is enjoyment. Last year we had incredible results. All children who sat passed, with a high percentage receiving distinction and the rest highly-commended and commended. All the preparation is done at school but there may be a need for parental assistance near the end, e.g. gathering any costumes for your child or practising poem/show and tell at home. The assessments will be held in the school during Term 4 (Week 5- 11th November) examination report about their performance and a badge/bar if they pass. The levels of attainment are as follows:
Distinction
Highly Commended
Commended
Pass
Not Achieved
I sent a letter home today to explain what it is all about and what it entails. Please return the slip to school ASAP.
