What is Communication?

Communication is how we share ideas and feelings with others. It means sending messages, like when you talk to a friend or write a letter. It also means receiving messages, like when you listen to your teacher or read a book.

Children communicating and sharing ideas in a classroom.

Why We Communicate

• To share ideas, like a new game.

• To tell stories, like about your day.

• To ask questions, like for help.

• To show feelings, like being happy.

Talking to One or Few

When you talk to just one or a few people, it's called personal communication. This means you share messages directly with people you know well. For example, you might tell your friend Alex about your fun weekend, or talk to your family at dinner. It's a special way to connect.

Children enjoy personal communication through storytelling with microphones.

Personal Talk Examples

Personal talk is when you communicate directly with one or a few people you know well. This could be chatting with your friend, Leo, during lunch break. It also includes talking to your Aunt Sarah on the phone.

Children engaged in conversation, a key part of personal talk.

Young people communicating through speech and writing.

Writing Personal Messages

We can write personal messages to share our thoughts and feelings with just one or a few people. You might write a letter to your Grandma Joan about your summer vacation, or send a text message to your friend Alex to ask about their favorite video game. These messages are special because they are just for them!

How Personal Messages Work

• Two people talk directly.

• Both can speak and listen.

• Get answers right away!

• Like chatting with a friend.

How Do You Talk to People Every Day?

Think about how you talk to friends at school or leave a note for your mom or dad. When do you communicate personally?

Talking to Many People

Mass communication means sending a message to many, many people all at once. Imagine a TV news report, like one about a big parade, reaching thousands of homes. Or a popular song playing on the radio for everyone to hear.
