🎙 Engaging Speech Course: SAYY brought a dynamic English speech course to Royal Muse, offering a delightful blend of knowledge and fun.

🤗 Fun-Filled Learning: The winter camp was filled with warmth and laughter as kids not only enjoyed expressing themselves in English but also discovered the joy of learning, a hallmark of SAYY's teaching style.

🎞 Exploring 'Sweet Cocoon': The course centered around the theme 'Sweet Cocoon.' Students watched the silent short film, analyzing characters' body language and expressions, vital for both everyday social interactions and honing public speaking and storytelling skills.

💬 Logic and Expression: Guided by teachers, students practiced English logical thinking by answering key questions, enhancing both language accuracy and self-confidence in expression.

📚 Sequencing Concept: The course introduced the concept of sequencing, breaking down stories into key parts. This not only boosted memory skills but also fostered creative thinking and teamwork.

❤ Thanks to Royal Muse: A special shout-out to Royal Muse for providing this incredible opportunity! The event not only brought joy to kids through English speech but also showcased the sense of accomplishment in expression.

1) Reading to your children exposes them to a variety of words, helping them discover new vocabulary and gain a better understanding of the world. As they listen, they become more aware of the different sounds in words, which is crucial for pronouncing words accurately. Additionally, through reading, kids learn about sentence structure and how to arrange words in the correct order.

Moreover, engaging in storytelling enhances their ability to narrate events and express ideas coherently. If you're concerned about teaching incorrectly or if English isn't your primary language, don't worry. The Richmond Public Library, along with many other libraries, organizes *FREE* reading events and story times for kids. These events provide a supportive environment for children's language development.

2)SAYY Academy is a local learning center dedicated to enhancing children's speech, pronunciation, and self-expression skills. Tailored for young learners, their formal lessons are both engaging and enjoyable. They incorporate activities like reading stories, playing games to build vocabulary, drawing to express ideas, and encouraging clear and confident opinions. Programs begin at age 2, offering an affordable option for weekly lessons that foster your child's language development.

3) Exploring the beach is not only incredibly enjoyable but also a *FREE* way to enhance speech sounds, conversation skills, and critical thinking in children. By mimicking the sounds of the waves and animals, building structures with beach driftwood, and discovering hidden treasures in the sand, there's endless conversation material. Beach exploration provides valuable opportunities for children to think critically and logically, forming opinions about how the world works and understanding our impact on the environment.

😍📣This is the SAYY Academy newsletter for July with all the updates! 这是 SAYY学院 七月份的新闻通讯，包含了所有更新内容。

At SAYY Academy, we focus on how children are "Leaders or Followers" from a creative perspective.

You can begin by asking yourself, does my child repeat or parrot ideas? Do they have their own, unassisted opinion? Can they tell a story different from others?

As parents and educators, here is how you can spot signs if your child or student is a follower:

Copying Ideas: Notice if they frequently imitate others' concepts, opinions, and conclusions, relying on external inspiration rather than their own.

Repeating Stories: Observe if they often retell similar narratives from their friends, indicating a preference for imitation rather than originality.

Copying Opinions/Choices: Pay attention to whether they adopt others' views or preferences without independent thinking, even with simple things like food choices, favorite colors, or preferred activities.

Following in Play: Watch how they engage in playtime, and notice if they tend to follow others' directions without balancing independent decision-making or asserting their own ideas.

If you recognize these signs in your child or student, it may indicate that they are still developing their ability to think independently and draw their own conclusions. By the age of 4, children should have acquired all of the above skills: expressing their own opinions, generating original ideas, and having the confidence to showcase their abilities.

If you feel unsure about how to foster these skills, SAYY Academy is here to provide the best first step!

It is crucial to help children develop logical connections and reasoning skills. By offering options and assisting them in extracting information, we can guide them to make logical connections and conclusions. Never allow them to dodge a question by saying "I don't know," but instead, guide them to think and find the answers.

Children may develop a habit of dodging questions in large group settings. Educators often lack the time to assist every child in finding the logic and reasoning behind a question, so they tend to skip over students who frequently say "I don't know" or simply stop asking them questions altogether! This can result in these children being overlooked or missing out on learning opportunities.

Small group interactions, qualified educators, and the right amount of patience are the perfect combination to correct this habit! Contact SAYY Academy, because..... You know.

Books, Stories and Videos are a great way to promote English development, vocabulary and descriptive words. But did you know, talking about the images or the actions of the characters also develops logical and critical thinking skills.

"The Mermaid" can be found on Youtube, Amazon or at your local library. Read through with your child, and pause to ask them these questions to promote logical reasoning, and critical analysis of the images, details and behaviours.

Thank you Ivy for the review! Charles has made huge progress in our program, and our educators worked closely to ensure his attitude towards learning was positive and focused 😍

See your child shine with newfound confidence!

Our teachers empower children to overcome challenges and realize their full potential. Through positive reinforcement and skill-building activities, they'll develop a strong sense of self-worth and self-belief. Help your child break through to success!

They have many thoughts, but do they know how to vocalize them?

Encouraging children to express themselves verbally promotes confidence, creativity and emotional intelligence. Let's create a safe and supportive environment where their words can be encouraged, heard and valued.
