What a Performance! cover

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.

Amelia and Arlo are excited – there is going to be a school talent show and they will be performing their favourite magic tricks! But there’s one particular trick that is proving difficult to master. Will it go well in the live performance?

Themes: performance, friendship, practice, perseverance, resilience, emotions, pride

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