Abiva Publishing House, the pioneering textbook publisher in the country, proudly relaunches its complete, original, comprehensive, and reliable Speech series and programs for preschool to high school students that will enable them to develop and hone their oral communication skills.

Prepared and written by renowned educator Cabrina Padilla, these phenomenal and widely-adopted programs are Abiva’s answer to the Department of Education’s call to help Filipino students be proficient in communicating using the English language.

Composed of books and audio tapes and/or CDs, the following Speech packages will surely blaze trails in developing students’ oral English communication:

Speech (N, K, P, 1-6).  Contains fun-filled lessons presented through communicative situations, rhymes, dynamic games, puzzles, and songs.  The series hones and reinforces not only the speaking but also the listening, reading, writing, and psychomotor skills of pupils.  Adaptable to classroom or speech lab use, audio lessons in CDs supplement the worktexts and carefully guide pupils how to say English words correctly.

Basic Speech for You and Me (P, 1-6).  Thoroughly prepared for pupils to learn basic lessons on consonants, short and long vowel sounds, blends, diagraphs, stress, and phrasing, the textbooks with instructional cassette tapes introduce the proper way of speaking English words and phrases through age-appropriate and values-oriented rhymes, songs, short poems, riddles, games, and well-rounded drills and exercises.

Speech (Strengthening Oral Communication Skills) Year I.  Filled with practice exercises in correct pronunciation, proper stress, phrasing, and intonation, this book presents lessons in a variety of ways like vocabulary building and improvement, grammar function, dialogues featuring local tourist spots and familiar settings, poems, essays, riddles, and tongue-twisters.  Suitably prepared for high school students, this also gives a lot of opportunities for students to practice not only their speaking but also listening, reading, and writing skills. 

Enriching Oral Communication Skills.  A one-book complete course in Speech designed for non-native speakers of English—especially Filipino high school students.  Using varied and interactive drills on pronunciation, stress, rhythm, phrasing, blending, and intonation, this book walks students through how to effectively communicate their thoughts and ideas in English in the most natural way possible.
