The Gruffalo Core Board – Communication & Story Support (EYFS, SEND)

The Gruffalo Core Board – Communication & Story Support

This The Gruffalo core board is designed to support communication, language development, and comprehension while reading the much-loved story by Julia Donaldson. Ideal for Early Years, EYFS, SEN, and Speech & Language Therapy settings, this visual support helps children engage with the story through key core vocabulary and symbols.

The core board includes high-frequency words and symbols that allow children to comment, answer questions, retell parts of the story, and express ideas during shared reading, role play, and guided activities. It is especially beneficial for children with SEND, AAC users, EAL learners, and emerging communicators.

Perfect for use during story time, small group work, or continuous provision, this resource encourages inclusive participation and supports expressive and receptive language skills. The board can be used alongside the book, story props, or Gruffalo-themed activities to deepen understanding and communication.

Key features:

• Supports The Gruffalo story comprehension
• Encourages use of core vocabulary
• Suitable for EYFS, KS1, SEN, and SLT use
• Ideal for AAC and communication-rich classrooms
• Printable and easy to display or laminate

A must-have visual communication resource for bringing The Gruffalo story to life while supporting language, inclusion, and engagement.
