The Boy and the Ball

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.

Leo and his mum take a trip to town to buy him a ball for a trip to the park – but along the way he loses it. Will he ever get it back?

Themes: shopping, park, family, friendships, emotions, play, losing something

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