Early language is important because it provides the foundations for reading, for writing, for social development-- for learning in every subject. Increasingly, research makes the link between early oral language skills and future education progress. Therefore, the growing challenge of children starting school unable to speak in sentences could not be ignored. The Chatta storytelling approach uses pictures of everyday activities families are doing. Parents are encouraged to take photos of their activities, which they then use to create a story using the Chatta smartphone app. A walk in the park or making breakfast can be turned into a photo story with the simple story board in the app. Buttons on each image allow the parent and child to record their speech. Every activity can become a story, increase interaction, provide adult-modeled language and child oral rehearsal, and be scaffolded with pictures. This article describes Chatta, a tool that can be used to make a positive difference to children's learning.
