Tip of the month- supporting communication skills

Learning new words!

Helping your child learn new words can be part of everyday activities and routines- such as shopping. You can also encourage your child to use new words by giving them choices. So, rather than saying “would you like a snack?” ask them “do you want raisins or cucumber?”

Repetition is important- children need to hear a new word lots of times before they learn it fully.
