Check understanding
- Use strategies to engage listeners during a presentation (e.g., make eye contact, vary tone and pace, ask the audience a question)
- Listen to a peer's viewpoint and respond by agreeing, disagreeing, or extending their idea with a reason (e.g., 'I agree with Priya because… but I also think…')
- Choose more formal language for a class presentation and more informal language for a group discussion, explaining the difference
“When your child is talking in a group, do they notice if people are losing interest and adjust how they're speaking — or pick up on what others have said and add to it thoughtfully?”
