Little Brains Love to Talk: A Playful Approach to Support Young Children's Speech, Language and Comm

The Little Brains Love to Talk set introduces two beautifully illustrated story books and a practitioner guide to support young children's speech, language and communication development and their foundational knowledge of positional words.

The books pay careful attention to the possible child development and healthy brain growth opportunities, interwoven with essential theory.

Each story:

• Has been designed to engage young children with playful narratives, rich characters and comedic actions, whilst sharing essential positional words.
• Draw on themes of play and encourage children to engage with the outdoors, which offers a rich stimulus for learning new words.

The accompanying practitioner guide:

• Delivers digestible research relating to communication and language development, together with evidence-based strategies for supporting young children.
• Includes examples, practical pointers and activity prompts to use while reading the story books, as well as links to short videos, songs and additional resources on the companion website.

Diving into the world of books is one of the greatest adventures for the young developing brain. This accessible set is an essential tool for early years educators and primary teachers working with children from three to five years, as well as speech and language therapists and parents.
