About this Event
What Happens When Our Narrative Skills Are Weak?
We may:
- Struggle with writing compositions or oral exams
- Find it hard to explain ideas or emotions
- Be misunderstood socially or left out of conversations
- Feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or avoid speaking up
Why Learning Narrative Skills Matters
1. Foundation for Communication: Telling stories is how we organise thoughts, share experiences, and make sense of the world. Whether we’re talking about our day, writing essays, or making friends—narrative skills are at the core.
2. Supports Academic Success: Narrative skills are directly linked to reading comprehension, writing, and oral presentations. When we can tell stories clearly, we are better prepared for exams, project work, and class discussions.
3. Builds Social Confidence: We use stories to connect socially—from sharing jokes to recounting weekend plans. Narrative difficulties can lead to social misunderstandings or isolation.
4. Encourages Emotional Expression: Telling stories helps us express feelings, take perspective, and reflect. This strengthens both emotional intelligence and resilience.
5. Strengthens Thinking and Planning: Storytelling trains working memory, sequencing, and problem-solving—all crucial executive functioning skills, especially for individuals with ADHD or learning differences.
Who Is It For?
- Individuals who struggle with telling or writing stories
- Learners with language delays/disorders, special needs, or English language learning needs
- Any individual who would benefit from building communication confidence
About This Programme
In Story Explorers Club, students learn how to plan, tell, and revise stories with clarity, confidence, and creativity. This small-group speech therapy programme supports learners in mastering story grammar (e.g. setting, characters, plot), sequencing, descriptive language, and perspective-taking.
Led by an AHPC-registered speech therapist, this programme is designed for individuals who benefit from structured narrative support, including those with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), ADHD, autism, or who are learning English as a second language.
By learning how to build and tell stories in a supportive group, your child gains the confidence, clarity, and communication skills they need to thrive—in school, at home, and with peers.
