The Talking Products Activity Book offers teachers a practical resource to support speaking and listening skills across the curriculum. Ideal for use with recording devices such as Talking Tins and Talking Tiles, it provides adaptable activities for pupils aged 4–11, including those with English as an additional language or developing literacy skills.

Packed with ideas and lesson plans this book is compatible with Talking Tins, Talking Tiles, Voice Pads, Multi Memo and Micro Speak. One of the most creative outcomes of using a recording device is the instantaneous and spontaneous way it can facilitate thinking. Instead of time being wasted agonising about what to write, the spoken word can be captured quickly and reviewed through listening, rather than reading.

Older pupils can really be challenged by the demands of focused listening and the opportunity to compare their responses with others. The ideas in this book are designed to be fun, flexible and thought provoking

Activities have been designed to stimulate thinking and writing in all areas of the curriculum. They are structured in simple steps, which will enable progression and challenge and they can easily be adapted.
