Speech, Language and Communication Resources - November week 1
Tips to help build your child’s speech, language and communication skills.
Say What I See! Supporting Your Child's Communication
Naming what your child sees and does throughout the day can help them learn and use new words.
Try talking about the objects, actions and activities your child is interested in. For example, at bath time you might say, “I’m washing your hair” and talk about the water, shampoo, splashing and drying.
These simple conversations help support language development and sentence building.
#NottsYearOfCommunication
Use an interesting voice when naming things - play a simple naming game!
When talking with your child, showing that you're having fun encourages them to join in and communicate with you.
Using an expressive and interesting voice to name things your child sees can help them focus, listen and learn new words. It also helps children connect the words they hear with the world around them.
