Big Cat Story Talk is a research-informed language programme that places books at the heart of every session. Using a series of lively wordless picture books, the programme builds vocabulary, improves language and communication and increases social and emotional wellbeing through quality interactions and rich child-led book talk.

Robert is desperate to be as good at skateboarding as Roodie, but Roodie isn’t keen on teaching his little brother. Is there anything that will persuade him?

Themes: relationships, practice, perseverance, resilience, emotions, family, sport, role models

The Big Cat Story Talk programme includes online training, videos and resources to assist with classroom implementation, delivery and engagement.
