tales for terrific talkers®
Workshops
We offer a three hour workshop to early childhood professionals, parents and carers on incorporating speech pathology techniques into storytelling and language sessions for young children at home and at childcare centres. This includes a copy of our book tell me too! tales for terrific talkers which can also be used independently with children up to early primary school age. To book a workshop or find out more information click here (PDF file). To view a story from the book click here.
In June 2003 we ran Tales for Terrific Talkers Workshops for parents, childcare workers and special needs workers through the Early Intervention Centres at Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Taree. Here are some comments from participants:
