📖 Story Champs in action! 📖

At Next Challenge, we love using the Story Champs program to help children build strong narrative and language skills📚✨

Story Champs breaks storytelling into clear, visual steps — helping kids understand story structure, make connections, and retell events with confidence. Using picture sequences, coloured prompts, and guided practice, our Speech Pathologists support children to:

🟣 Build vocabulary
🟢 Understand story grammar (characters, setting, problem, solution)
🔵 Improve sequencing and comprehension
🟡 Develop confident oral and written storytelling

In this session, we used the Story Champs visuals to plan the story, then supported our student to turn those ideas into a fantastic written narrative. 🙌

Strong storytelling = stronger communication, literacy, and classroom success! 💬✨

✨ Supporting regulation starts right at home! ✨

Here are some simple, play-based sensory activities that can help kids feel calm, organised and ready for their day. From big movement breaks to cosy comfort items, these ideas are easy to weave into your daily routines — and great for helping children listen to their bodies and find what works for them 💜
