“Once upon a time” - Words that can be genuinely hard to reach for a child who struggles with narrative. Fairy Tale Castle gets them there gradually one picture at a time.

This pack takes the naturally story-rich world of castles, Knights, and fairy tales and turns it into a structured, three-step ladder toward proper story telling. Without ever feeling like its work.

How it works:
A child pics their pictures and works at their own level
1, Name it - Simply identify what is in each picture
2, Describe it - turning that word into a sentence
3, Tell it - Weaving their pictures into a real story with a beginning, middle, and end

As all three stages use the same collection of picture, you can run the intervention with a mixed-ability group at the same time - one child naming, another building sentences and another a full story, the only thing that changes is the level of instructions given.

Why is works:
Children with Speech, language and communication needs often find narritive the hardest skill of all - It asks them to hold a sequence, choose vocabulary, and organise ideas all at once, Breaking it into these three honest steps means every child gets a genuine win at their level, not a task that’s either too easy or completely out of reach.

Use this board for:
1, Story building
2, Group Story building - Carry on the story from where the last child finished
3, Following instructions
4, Vocabulary building
5, My turn, Your turn

What’s Included:
1, 1 x Fairy Tale Castle board (printable)
2, A large selection of tokens
3, A complete instruction guide

As with all Speak, Play, Learn resources the tokens are all interchangeable, creating even more learning opportunities
