This page now includes all the activities, which up to now have only been available for colleagues that have attended our workshops and/or schools that have registered with us. We have found that our most exciting activities have been planned and produced in teacher, nursery nurse and teaching assistant workshops. You might also want to encourage parents to help you make story props and games for them to take home. More details and ideas on parents' workshops can be found in our guide to core texts and our guide to track games.
If your school would like to host a workshop go here for details. We have much preferred running these workshops in schools, but, during the pandemic, we have supported several online workshops.. Even if you can't attend a workshop, we welcome feedback and suggestions for titles to include. Please get involved with our Work in Progress page; a small contribution can make a big difference. Over the next year or so we aim to add more new language oriented activities to popular books for use in Key Stage One (up to 7 or 8 yrs).The Education Endowment Foundation emphasises that language activities on their own are far less effective than language activities in curriculum contexts. Never underestimate the power of story! Our activities are always marvellous prompts for meaningful conversations around stories while developing new language skills. Playful is not the opposite of serious! Chatter matters! |

This activity has been developed by Rochdale's EAL team working on Mantra Lingua's successful dual language book about Rafa who talks a lot at home, but says nothing at school. We hope you will find their resources and guidance helpful and the book an empowering addition to your EYFS setting. You will find resources below for many books from Mantra Lingua. |
