"It is important that children consider creative writing and public speaking a joyful art and not a burdensome challenge. They must understand that writing and oratory skills are not purely innate; these skills can be developed and refined through guidance and will.

This book is an endeavor to help young learners develop and hone their creative writing and oratory skills.

The key features include:

*Clearly explained, tested and tried strategies for content development

*Guidelines for enhancing expression, cohesion and fluency in writing

*Techniques for developing oratory and presentation skills

*Samples and practice tasks for each of the writing and public speaking genres covered in the book

* Techniques for improving vocabulary and grammatical accuracy

It is envisaged that the book would facilitate:

*Students to develop their cognitive skills and become self reliant, adept writers and public speakers.

*Parents to guide their children.

*Teachers to shed the constant load of giving repetitive instructions to the class."
