Stories and Rhymes
Read a wide variety of stories with your child. This is crucial for the development of their vocabulary and general language skills. It also helps them develop a love of books
Enjoy lots of Nursery Rhymes together and make up your own silly rhymes, even if the words are not real words eg mat – lat, gat
Hopefully these will all be fun.
