The Chatty Bats Language Development Programme uses a robust dialogic reading methodology, linking engaging stories with structured language activities to enhance the use of language, vocabulary and understanding of 3-5 year olds.
Chatty Bats combines the expertly crafted Clickety Early Soundplay stories with a tried and tested language programme, developed by Wendy Lee at LINGO.
Chatty Bats was introduced into 50 schools as part of a Strategic School Improvement Fund project:
‘We have just completed Chatty Bats and the pre/post data is good. I think a lot of the impact is around the fact that it has tuned staff into what the children do and how they learn.’ Teacher

– Based around 5 of the Clickety Early Soundplay stories
