Is your child struggling with spelling? We're here to provide a solution!
At Speak3, we understand that many children may find spelling challenging, especially in English with its many irregularities. That's why we offer phonological awareness training, which has been shown to be especially effective for Chinese students.
Research (Oudeans, 2003) , (Cheung, 1999), (Foorman and Liberman, 1989), indicates that phonological awareness is critical for acquiring, and developing good reading skills. Moreover, phonological awareness can be taught. Additionally, children who begin learning to read well continue to do so, while children who begin poorly continue so (Stuart and Coltheart, 1988).
Phonological awareness training is the ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds of spoken language. It helps children understand the relationship between written letters and spoken sounds, which is crucial for learning to read, speak, and spell.
Our iSpeakPerfect learning module includes specialised phonological awareness training to help children develop a strong foundation in spelling. With our expert coaching, students learn to identify, segment, blend, and manipulate the sounds of spoken language to improve their spelling and overall comprehension.
In addition, our programme features weekly spelling quizzes and optional debate classes to help students monitor their progress and cement their learning objectives into long-term memory. Our programme is designed to be user-friendly and engaging, helping children to enjoy the learning process and make significant improvements in their spelling skills.
Unlock your child's spelling potential with Speak3's iSpeakPerfect programme. Join us today and discover the power of personalised feedback and expert guidance in achieving your child's English language goals.

We're excited to share the eye-opening results of our pilot study with Scientia Secondary School in Hong Kong!
Over a period of 4 weeks, 109 students at the S3-S5 level used our iSpeakPerfect service and saw dramatic improvements in their English speaking abilities. Effective Words Per Minute (EWPM), which measures the number of words spoken per minute with acceptable comprehensibility, improved by up to 373% (from 22 wpm to 104 wpm) and Speaking Accuracy improved by up to 34% (56% to 91%). We're thrilled to see the impact our service is having and can't wait to help even more students improve their language skills.

Unlocking the potential of every child is our goal, and seeing them achieve greatness is our reward. 🎁
Our passion for teaching drives us to equip students with the tools they need to conquer their dreams and soar to success. 🕊 One of these tools is Targeted Corrective Feedback (TCF). ⚙
TCF is a method of teaching English pronunciation that involves providing personalised feedback to each learner to help them improve their pronunciation skills. It is a highly effective method, supported by research, that has been widely used in language teaching and learning contexts. 📑
By providing students with TCF, teachers can help students bridge the gap between their own pronunciation and that of the desired outcome, leading to marked improvements in their speaking comprehensibility. If left to their own devices, it is highly unlikely that learners would ever be able to bridge this gap (Dlaska and Krekeler, 2013). This is particularly important for younger students, as they tend to improve faster than older students, making it essential to start early in their language learning journey.
Overall, Speak 3's iSpeakPerfect learning module is designed to help students improve their English pronunciation, speaking comprehensibility, accentedness, and fluency. Our programme features dedicated pronunciation coaches who work with students to provide personalised feedback and guidance, helping them to achieve their language learning goals. 🥅

Speak 3 is a firm believer in diversity and inclusivity! 🤝
Many students have emotional needs and self-esteem that may be overlooked in the classroom, leading to a demotivated and disheartened student body. However, it's important to recognize that teachers have a demanding job, and they may not always have the resources or support they need to meet the diverse needs of their students.
It's common for teachers to prioritise gifted students, which can lead to the neglect of the needs of the entire class. Additionally, some teachers may not realise that students learn at different paces and may require additional support and resources to succeed.
That is why it is important to acknowledge that every student has unique needs, and it's the responsibility of educators to address these needs to help students thrive. Speak 3 was founded upon these ideals, an education company that is dedicated to fostering a warm and inclusive learning environment while also understanding and addressing the diverse needs of each and every student.
