★ It is not dry lecturing. It weaves communication skills into 37 real school scenarios, from responding to random questions to expressing apology, helping children learn to speak up through comics.

The series includes 3 volumes:
1. At School, Talk Like This and You’ll Make Friends! (School Social Skills and Public Speaking)
2. Why Can’t I Talk with My Family? (Family Talk and Parent-Child Communication)
3. Outside, I Can Speak Up Too! (Social Life Expression and Communication)

For every elementary school student who is afraid to speak up.

Is your child afraid to greet unfamiliar classmates? Does their mind go blank when the teacher calls on them? Do they want to apologize to a classmate but cannot open their mouth? Do they need to ask a teacher a question but dare not go to the office? These campus communication problems trouble countless children and parents—yet there are methods to follow. This is the first communication skills primer designed for 6–12 year olds.

This is the first volume of the three-volume “Primary School Communication Skills Comic” series, focusing on social skills and public speaking in school settings. The book sets up 37 of the most common school communication scenarios, divided into three progressive sections. Section 1, “Easily Handle Public Speaking at School,” teaches children how to respond to random questions, how to express themselves when facing unfamiliar questions, how to give an award acceptance speech, and how to read between the lines in an interview. Section 2, “Make Public Speaking More Brilliant,” builds confidence in public speaking, helps children quickly organize spoken language, and develops logical, structured expression. Section 3, “Solve 6 Basic Problems of School Social Life,” covers introducing oneself to unfamiliar classmates, clearly expressing one’s wishes, reasonably asking others for help, expressing appreciation to good friends, apologizing to classmates and asking for forgiveness, and offering appropriate comfort.

The book uses a step-by-step structure of “raise the problem—analyze the problem—give methods.” Each scenario uses fun comics to recreate real dilemmas, with expert-written guidance. There is no dry theoretical lecturing—only communication tips children can understand, learn, and use.

When children are no longer afraid to speak up at school, and when every communication becomes smooth and confident, they can grow up more sunny and psychologically healthy.
