Specifically designed for older children and young adults, this practical language programme was created by a specialist speech & language therapist with input from secondary school teachers and students. It focuses on enhancing the understanding and expression of stories in students aged from 8 to 18 with language and communication difficulties, and aims to:

• Create an awareness of how storytelling can be used to enhance learning in school and social interactions in school and home environments.
• Facilitate storytelling.
• Enhance the joy and enjoyment in telling stories.
• Identify different types of narratives and provide examples for each type.
• Encourage effective listening and attention skills.
• Examine different means of making story production more interesting through vocal variety, body language and print.
• Encourage the use of the story planner in planning and structuring essays in the classroom and for homework.
