It is carried out in a small group.\nWho are sensory stories for?\nSensory stories are ideal for children who find it difficult to access spoken language or those who find it challenging to sit and focus during class story time sessions.\nWhy do we use sensory stories?\nThere are many benefits to using sensory stories. These include:\nDeveloping a child’s listening and shared attention skills.\nSupporting their understanding of spoken language and key vocabulary.\nEnabling children to explore new sensory experiences in a safe, supportive environment. Revisiting stories again and again can help develop their responses to different sensory experiences.\nProviding opportunities for children to engage in a motivating and enjoyable shared activity with others.\nGetting started:\nA sensory story works best with a small group of 5 – 6 children, with 2 adults. One adult leads the activity by telling the story and providing the sensory experiences. The second adult sits with the children to model good listening and attention, while helping and encouraging them to explore the sensory experiences on offer.\nFind a quiet space, free from distractions – this can be inside or outside the classroom.\nChoosing a story:\nAlmost any children's picture book can be turned into a sensory story. Here are some of our favourites:\nWe're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury\nThe Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle\nRosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins\nWhatever Next by Jill Murphy\nRoom on the Broom by Julia Donaldson.\nFairy stories such as the Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Enormous Turnip etc also work well.\nTurning a story into a sensory story:\nUnlike a typical story time, a sensory story session doesn't just involve reading the story and sharing the pictures.\nStart by simplifying the text where necessary to reduce the amount of language used. Choose simple key word language and repeated phrases. When you come to retell the story use lots of vocal and facial expression and use Makaton signs and gesture to accompany the spoken language, to help convey meaning.\nExamples of sensory stories: photos\nPlanning sensory experiences:\nThink about how key events in the story can be turned into a sensory experience – something that the children can watch, touch, smell, taste, hear, or experience through movement. For example, in ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ the family walk through a swirling, whirling snowstorm.\nMake this into a sensory experience for the children by squirting crazy foam into their hands and then demonstrating how they can create ‘snow’ by clapping their hands together.\nThis engages a number of senses: smell (the scent of the crazy foam), touch (the feel of the crazy foam), sight (watching the crazy foam create a ‘snow’ effect when it is squashed).\nIncorporating different senses:\nSound:\nUse sound buttons which the children can press to hear the repeated phrases in stories e.g. ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ or ‘I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down.’ These can also be used to record sounds to represent different characters e.g. the animals in ‘Room on the Broom.’\nUse musical instruments to create sound effects e.g. tap a drum for the sound of Goldilocks knocking on the door of the bears’ house.\nUse voice changing microphones so the children can talk like different characters e.g. a squeaky voice for baby bear in ‘Goldilocks.’\nTouch:\nProvide cuddly toys or puppets of story characters for the children to pass around and hold e.g. a teddy bear (‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’/ Goldilocks and the 3 Bears).\nUse resources that the story characters use. For example, give the children a colander ‘space helmet’ to try on like Baby Bear (in ‘Whatever Next’) or give them a blanket so they can pretend to sleep like Goldilocks.\nOffer objects to hold and touch such as a turnip (‘The Enormous Turnip’), a rib","cbCainnFeUIIuqgE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainnFeUIIuqgE","docx",29950,"English","# Script\n## What is a sensory story?\n## Who are sensory stories for?\n## Why do we use sensory stories?\n## Getting started\n## Choosing a story\n## Turning a story into a sensory story\n## Planning sensory experiences\n## Incorporating different senses\n## Finally","[{\"question\":\"What is a sensory story and how is it delivered?\",\"answer\":\"A sensory story is a simple retelling of a story with accompanying sensory experiences.
