STORY ADVENTURE CLUB 

Story telling is an important aspect of language. Story grammar acts as a map to guide comprehension and production of narratives. It also provides a predictable structure for children to process stories efficiently. Each week we will use stories to develop skills in the following areas: 

• Listening comprehension 
• Story creation and retelling 
• Story grammar structure 
• Vocabulary  
• Social and emotional reasoning 
• Phonological awareness
