A bundle of our popular Narrative resources, aimed at children aged 3-5 years. Narrative skills are key to language competence in the school age years and a clear link has been established between oral narrative and the development of reading and writing. The narrative approach to language is based on the core concepts of ‘Who’, ‘Where’, ‘When’, ‘What happened next’ and ‘The end’. There is also a strong emphasis on good listening and attention skills.
Each programme includes clear instructions and complete lesson plans, and can be delivered in one to one or small group settings, as well as a whole class approach. Suitable for use by Speech and Language Therapists and teaching staff.

Children benefit from books being re-read over and over again. We remember our own favourites as children, or as parents when our children ask for the same bedtime story night after night.
Our Fun with Narrative pack has been developed to enable teachers and therapists to reinforce and extend the narrative framework as part of whole-class literacy sessions. Suitable for use for children aged 4 years – 7 years, it includes full instructions, sets of lesson plans and picture resources which link the Narrative framework to familiar classroom texts.
A range of familiar texts (for example We’re Going on a Bear Hunt) have been broken down into their component parts, and fun activities have been included to reinforce the concepts of who, where, when, what happened next, and the end.

Eye contact, turn-taking, listening and attention skills are all crucial foundations to the establishment of expressive language. This colourful pack concentrates on fun activities that promote the development of these early pre-linguistic skills.
Communication between two people starts with looking at each other, listening and attending to the other person and waiting for your turn to respond. These foundations to verbal language are sometimes delayed in young children, so extra support can be given which in turn will help with language development.
Suitable for use with children aged 3-5 years who may have poor listening and attention skills, the pack can be used in small group or whole class settings by teachers and/or therapists.
