Speaking & confidence
warm-ups, speaking games, and real conversation in a low-pressure space
Listening, expression and the confidence to join in.Little Voices helps children practise speaking, listening and storytelling in live online sessions. It is a communication confidence programme — not exam prep, not English tuition.
Storytelling materials for online learning.Little Voices is built for children who hold back — because they are unsure of their words, because no one has made it feel safe to try, or because they have plenty to say but need the confidence to say it. Sessions are 45 minutes each, live online, and designed so that every child ends on something they did well. No tests. No pressure. Just steady, purposeful practice in a safe space.
For children aged 8–14 who would benefit from a supportive space to express themselves, take part in a group and grow comfortable speaking English.
A classroom session with school students.Shruti also works with school students in classroom sessions. If you run a school and would like to discuss a session, get in touch about a partnership.

A safe moment to stand up and speak.Before Session 1, Shruti runs a relaxed, game-format baseline evaluation with your child and a brief conversation with you. It looks at speaking confidence, vocabulary range, listening comprehension, storytelling ability and physical presence — eye contact, posture, expression. From this, a personalised plan is drawn up and reviewed every 4–6 sessions.
Exact activities and pace within each phase are customised to each child.
Speaking confidence, vocabulary range, listening comprehension, storytelling ability, physical presence.
Speaking without fear — warm-ups, turn-taking, expression games. Building the habit of speaking up.
Active listening activities, responding to prompts, following verbal instructions.
Word family activities, picture vocabulary, categorisation, age-appropriate reading aloud.
Moving from fragments to full sentences. Grammar in context, not as rules.
Beginning–middle–end structure. Short stories, picture prompts, sequencing cards.
Reading with feeling — pace, pause, emphasis. Props, puppets and performance.
Talking about a topic for 1–2 minutes. Eye contact, volume, confidence, managing the wobbles.
Original storytelling, role play, character voices. Every session ends on a win.
At Sessions 6, 12 and 18: a mini showcase — a confidence milestone, not a test.
The extended (40-session) programme is recommended when the baseline assessment shows gaps across multiple areas together — vocabulary, confidence and physical presence. Speak to Shruti about which programme fits your child’s starting point.
