Created with children with SEND in mind, the Stories for Your Senses series provides tactile reading experiences using items available in the home.
On this trip to the beach therefore, it suggests using a torch to create the sense of a warm sun shining in the sky, a glass or bowl of water can be used to recreate the sense of dipping toes in the ocean, and a tube of sunscreen allows us to experience some of the smells of a summer day out.
Added QR codes link to an audiobook and soundscape of a day at the beach while a touch and feel fidget texture panel is included for those who need it. Perfect for sharing.
A Day at the Beach: Stories for Your Senses Every Cherry Synopsis
The Stories for your Senses series offers immersive reading experiences of anywhere you can imagine. And the best part is, it can all be done from the comfort of your home!
Every Cherry's Stories for your Senses is an innovative series that immerses the reader in stories using the five senses. The storylines act as guides to each environment and sensory descriptions engage readers in each world that is created. Each page will prompt you to use readily available, household items to immerse readers in the environment.
These stories shine brightest when they are read by a carer or parent to a younger child or person with SEND. Each book comes with a free audiobook and soundscape that captures the essence of the book to better immerse each reader.
In A Day at the Beach you can look forward to seaside sounds, colourful illustrations and lots of summer fun.
