One concern I had about homeschooling is that my sons would not have a chance to practice public speaking, such as they would while giving oral reports in a classroom setting. So we go ahead and do oral reports at home! Sometimes we invite another family or two to join us for one of our unit studies. This usually provides a large enough crowd for the student to gain some experience and confidence speaking before others. Almost anything can become the subject of an oral report. We have heard and given oral reports on horse breeds, famous cowboys, flag etiquette, the ideal insect and much more.
