Introduction to Narrative Therapy
Language is crucial to all learning. Young children cannot function e�ectively
until they can listen to, understand, and use language.
The development of an intervention approach that uses a highly structured
framework to create narratives (Catherall, 1998) has proved e�ective and
enjoyable for many children. This pack of copiable resources provides both
Speech and Language Therapists (SALT) and early years practitioners with a
highly flexible approach to developing children’s speaking and listening skills
through narrative. So why narrative?
Narrative may be the oldest and most basic human language activity . . . and
is very much concerned with going over sequences of events and giving
them shape and pattern and, consequently, some kind of meaning and
significance. This representation of experience in order to understand them
is a marked feature of human thinking. Young children’s urge to tell about
events, to recall sequences . . . to indulge in re-telling must be nurtured as
the only sound basis of literacy. (Whitehead, 1997)
In the Times Educational Supplement (TES) in 2005, Bill Lair says:
‘Time and again children’s writing lacks narrative substance, simply because
those who do not have enriching, diverse experiences will struggle to
construct coherent substantial plots and to maintain a coherent storyline.’
He goes on to suggest that ‘alongside a curriculum as rich as possible, and
some focussed work on children’s speaking and listening (there is a need to)
establish a policy for the provision of narrative’.
If children are struggling to have the skills to even tell the teacher what
they have done at the weekend, then they will not be able to tell more
complex narratives, and if oral narratives are di�cult, then written stories
will very obviously be a�ected. The programme outlined in this pack mirrors
the development of narrative skills in children from raising awareness of
the individual components of a simple story, to retelling a story and then
generating their own ideas for stories.
It is becoming a critical issue for Foundation stage workers that an increasing
number of children are entering school with reduced and impaired language

Use of the packThe programme outlined in this pack mirrors the development of narrative
skills in children from raising awareness of the individual components of
a simple story, to retelling a story and then generating their own ideas for
stories.
The small group session plans in this pack can be used for small group work
or 'dipped into' for whole class activities. The activities are merely a guide
and not meant to be prescriptive. They can be modified, adapted, changed
to suit your class needs and preferences.
The sessions work through ‘Who?’, followed by ‘Where?’, and then ‘When?’
and 'What happened?'.
They can be delivered in any order, but developmentally children learn the
‘Who?’ concept before ‘Where?’ and ‘When?’, so this should be considered.
Preparation for Sessions
Sta� may wish to laminate and/or mount on card, a master colour copy for
classroom use. Black and white duplicates of the colour picture pages are
available in Appendix II. These could be selected if wished when multiple
copies of worksheets are required for the children to work on.
Tabs alongside activities in the session plans detail items needed, and
contain links to associated pictures/exercises.
Small numbers in the corner of the pictures on pages that are to be cut up
aid subsequent identification and organisation. By organising and labelling
material that has been cut and laminated, the items required should be easily
retrievable for subsequent sessions, and avoid the need to print more than
one colour set.
The Story Component cards, will be used throughout the sessions,(and
probably beyond) and should always be available in the classroom.
The Acrobat format enables pages to be projected onto an interactive
whiteboard.

Session 2, WhoPeople
NB ‘Who’ story component card should be on display throughout the
session. Recap on the rules of good-looking, listening, and sitting.
Introduction
Use Makaton™ signs as you say ‘Hello, I am.... Who are you?’
Sound lotto game
Use a sound Lotto game, which requires the children to identify human
sounds. Games are available to buy from high street shops and/or
educational suppliers, but pictures are provided in this pack (pages 25–26)
to make your own sound Lotto game. ‘Who can we hear?
Hats in a magic sack
Place a variety of hats in a ‘magic sack’. Each child, in turn, puts their hand in
the sack, and pulls out a hat. Adult asks: ‘Who are you?’ When all the children
are wearing a hat, the activity can progress to ‘Who puts out a fire? Who lives
in a castle? Who chases burglars?’ etc. This activity can be used as a ‘Pass
the Parcel’ game to develop listening, attention, and turn-taking skills.
Kim’s game
Using small figures or ‘People who help us cards’ or pictures provided on
page 27. Have a few Who’s on a tray. Talk about who is on it, for example, a
farmer, a baby, an old lady, etc. Then cover the tray with a cloth and take a
‘Who’ away. Can the children guess who is missing. If the group is focused,
get them to do it to you!
Faces
This activity can be carried out in one of two ways. The coloured pages 28–
30 can be used as a group activity, asking questions such as ‘Who is wearing
a red hat?’ Alternatively the black and white versions, pages 179–181, can be
distributed and directions given such as:
‘Who is wearing a hat? Colour the hat green.’
‘Who is wearing glasses? Colour his hair black.’
‘Who has bobbles in their hair? Colour her hair brown.’ Etc.
