Book of the Month: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
This much-loved story by Eric Carle is a fantastic book to support your child's communication, language and speech development.
Reading together helps build your child’s speech, language and communication skills. Talk about the foods, count together, and ask simple questions about what happens next.
Reading the same book again and again helps children build confidence, develop vocabulary and strengthen their communication skills.

Activity: Bake biscuits or cakes together!
Baking is a great way to support your child’s speech, language and communication skills. Talk about each step as you bake, name the ingredients, and encourage your child to describe what they can see, smell and do.
Use words like mix, pour, stir, roll and bake to help build vocabulary while having fun together.
Learning through play has never been so tasty! 😊
