StoryBoards is a simple and fun game resource to help children with language and communication difficulties develop their narrative skills. Using game boards and colourfully-illustrated picture cards, StoryBoards helps children to visualise and practise telling a story through identifying the essential elements, how these should be sequenced and providing a basic vocabulary.
Key Features
- 6 story elements colour coded for ease of identification: Location, Time, Transport, Object, Feelings, and Weather.
- Encourages discussion and reasoning by allowing children to negotiate story choices.
- Flexible activities, including Throwing a story, Lotto, Vocabulary ladders, and Asking questions.
- Can be used for news time, preparation for visits or holidays, and narrative development.
- Suitable for use with individuals or groups by teachers, speech language therapists, and teaching assistants.
- Easily incorporated into classroom activities, aligning with the English National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2.
Additional Information
By picking story cards from the different sets, stories can be silly or sensible, and children can either stick with their choices or negotiate for a change. For example, if a child is going to the zoo, would they travel there in a submarine? A structured and accessible resource, StoryBoards is ideal for use in various educational settings.
