Mary Elizabeth - All books by this author

Painless Series - All books in this series

Designed for use in middle school and high school classrooms, as well as at home, books in Barron’s Painless series transform subjects that are normally dreaded by many students into challenging fun activities. Painless books take light-hearted approaches to their subjects, while addressing topics that classroom texts never get to. Painless Speaking explores the uniquely human act of oral communication, including elements in our culture that shape the way we speak. It explores finding one’s voice, understanding the basic unit of speech communication—an utterance—learning the art of conversation, reading aloud from fiction and nonfiction texts, and instruction in public speaking, which entails composing, practicing, and delivering a speech. Here are just a few of the author’s recommendations, in the form of chapter headings, that help to make speaking truly painless:
  • “Confer, Converse, and Otherwise Hobnob”: Informal Talk with Others . . .
  • “Once Upon a Time” Reading Aloud: Making Print Come Alive . . .
  • Practicing and Performing — which includes both delivering prepared material, and “winging it.
Students will find guidelines for self-evaluation of a public speech.

About the Author:
Mary Elizabeth is also the author of Painless Poetry and Painless Spelling both published as part of Barron’s Painless series.
