Basic level: building the foundations

Where every Speak & Sparkle student begins.

Basic is where children learn that speaking up can be fun. Through games, show and tell and storytelling, they build the core habits every good speaker relies on. Classes are warm and low pressure, so even the shyest child feels safe enough to try.
