Used Tales Toolkit weekly for 1-2 years

It has helped with building confidence both for the children but also the staff team and being confident running a small group. It has helped with development of listening skills, sharing ideas and understanding that we all have different opinions (how a story may pan out, and taking that understanding into other real life situations). Thinking about a problem and finding a solution strategy - again life skills for children but also encouraging staff to listen to all the children's version of 'the problem' (normally a sharing issue) and finding age appropriate strategies to find a solution. Built speech and language skills too!
Sam found Tales Toolkit:
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“Enabled the team to use it with problem solving using the problem and solution strategy. Helping the children to work through a problem helping to gain independence and confidence to have their own voice in tricky situations.”
- Slightly improves attainment“We offer a range of small groups which the children move around each term. I am not sure offering any of the small groups impacts attainment - have to think that through.”
