Talk through stories is a new whole class daily, 30 minute language programme designed for use in Reception and KS1.
Online
In a nutshell, this is how Talk Through Stories works:
We help children love the story first and, when they know it well, we teach them to use the ‘Tier Two’ words from the story in everyday contexts. (Tier Two words are words that children are unlikely to hear in everyday conversation, but will encounter in stories and teaching as they progress through school.) We choose a book for Talk Through Stories for three reasons:
1. You are likely to have it in your school.
2. You are likely to love the story.
3. The story includes eight relevant Tier Two words that we can explore in more than one context.
Some of the books are more challenging than others. If you love the story and think your children will enjoy it, then it’s the right one for them. It is not a cumulative programme, so you can alternate challenging with less challenging stories.
During the training session we will equip you with the background knowledge behind the programme as well as everything you will need to deliver Talk Through Stories in the classroom.
