Common misconception
Children in KS1 might not project their voices or speak loudly.
Show children a simple volume scale or traffic light system to visually represent the desired volume level.
Teacher tip
You may wish to create a 'speakers corner' in your classroom. This would be a designated place that the children would stand when talking to the class. This helps them to understand that they need to project their voice when speaking in this spot.
