Give your child one of the best gifts you can offer - a love of language, books and reading.
It's FREE!
It's EASY!
By talking to your child, by singing and saying nursery rhymes, you are introducing your child to parts of speech and sharing language. Quite simply, the more language they hear, the better their speech development will be. From an early age, babies are attracted to the caregiver's voice and need to be spoken to by their loved ones.
Come along to New Brighton Library for a hands-on practical session on how you can encourage language development in your child. Join Liz Weir for a fun programme of songs, rhymes, fingerplays and stories that are easy to learn and remember.
