Videos
Some of our videos are based on shorter, simpler books, while others are more complex in language and topic.
We try to follow a strengths-based approach, and have chosen not to tell our audience which videos they might prefer or understand - we leave that up to you!
We hope you enjoy them.
That's not my dog
It's only Katie with another fantastic video from Usborne's wonderful 'That's not my...' series.
Not only does Katie explore the book in our special Stories with Symbols way, learning words and phrases along the way, she also visits Support Dogs in Sheffield - a wonderful charity which provides assistance dogs to children.
This is our first video made specifically with Gestalt Language Processors (GLP) in mind!
Why should I brush my teeth?
Katie is back! …and so are we, with an amazing video all about brushing our teeth.
This can be a tricky topic, especially for those with sensory differences or anxiety, for instance.
Fear not! We explore why we brush our teeth, and take a trip to a real dentist, just to make it a bit less daunting when that day arrives.
Enjoy!
Weather
Meet Ryan!
He's dying to learn all about the weather around us, and to take you with him on a visit to the Met Office where he meets a real weather expert, and even has a go at being a weather presenter himself!
As always, there's a vocabulary section at the end, and Widgit symbols pop up throughout the video to support the meaning. Great for the classroom!
Goldilocks activity video!
Evie is back! …with a sequencing game, a song, and even some cooking.
An activity video all based on Goldilocks and the three bears.
For classrooms, small groups or 1:1 sessions, and for home.
Goldilocks and the three bears
It's our new friend, Evie, with Goldilocks and the Three Bears - a special for World Book Day 2022!
For the first time, there's a GAME in part 3 of the video.
This is our first video as part of the partnership with Usborne, launched last year - and we're really thrilled about it.
Keep an eye out for a special activity video to follow...
Dear Zoo
An all-time children's classic, and staple for speech and language therapists everywhere - it's Dear Zoo!
We've been so excited to make this video, so we hope you enjoy and share it too.
Our focus words to learn today are: 'BIG', 'TALL' and 'SNAKE'. As always, there are on-screen Widgit symbols in the video to support the meaning.
Now... watch out, there are lions about!
Explainer video - Part 2
We've made a short video (in two parts) which explains the background, theory and reasoning behind our resource.
We are often asked questions such as "why don't you show symbols for every word?" and "who are your videos for?"
So here is a video answering those questions, and many more, especially for professionals, parents and carers.

Postman Bear
Gather round for Postman Bear story time!
We’re super proud to share our first Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler book, presented by the fabulous Carlyss.
Our focus words today are 'post', 'open', 'inside' and 'cooking'. Lots of lovely clips of rascals big and small bringing our learning adventure to life!

That's not my monkey
Another day, another video! Your friend Katie is back, and she's got 'That's not my monkey' to share with you.
This is another fab touchy feely book from Usborne. We learn the words 'monkey', 'hairy' and 'feet', and Katie shares her favourite page with us.
There are some fab clips of cheeky monkeys, hungry monkeys, hairy caterpillars, guinea pigs - whatever next?!
Dinosaur Rocket
Today, Katie's blasting into space with 'Dinosaur Rocket'!
This is an exciting story all about dinosaurs going to the moon in a rocket, but only for enough time to play a few games and mess about before coming home.
We learn the words 'rocket', 'climbing' and 'waiting', with some spectacular footage of a real rocket lifting off.
But what will Katie's favourite page be today?
That's not my dinosaur
This is one of the best 'That's not my' books out there. Who doesn't love a spectacular but extinct giant that can do you no harm?
Of course, we learn the word 'dinosaur', but also 'teeth' and 'soft'. Another three for our vocabulary - isn't it growing fast?
We know you'll enjoy sharing this story.
Quack Quack!
Another Stories with Symbols video. This time, your pal Katie is reading the colourful lift-the-flap book, 'Quack Quack!'
This book is great for learning prepositions ('behind', 'in', 'under'), and 'behind' is one of our vocab focus words, along with 'duck' and 'leaf'.
We hope you like it!
That's not my panda
Where's my panda gone? There are lots of the fluffy rascals about, but which one is mine?
Our first Stories with Symbols video is still one of our favourites - we hope you'll love it too. There is even a clip of a real panda in the video - can you find it?
These stories are great for repetition - a great tool for learning new words and ideas.
