For more information on helping children develop their play skills to support language development, please see our advice here: https://www.coventrychildrensslt.co.uk/families/play/.

Remember that not all children will play in the same way and play should be child led and allowing the child to focus on their interests and their sensory preferences.

We know the importance of working together closely with both school/nursery settings and parents/siblings when supporting a child's communication development. The children will make better progress and receive more intensive support when everyone around the child gets involved. If you are a parent of a child with Speech and Language difficulties, take a look at the families page on our website to find out what you can be doing to help at home.

Coventry Family Hubs are excited to announce the launch of First Words Together, a new, free programme in Coventry that helps babies and children up to 2 years old develop their early communication skills.

Launch date: Friday 14th November
Time: 9.30am – 12.00pm
Venue: The Moat Family Hub, Deedmore Road, CV2 1EQ

This launch is taking place as part of Baby Week, celebrating the importance of giving every child the best start in life.

About the programme
First Words Together is a fun, supportive programme designed to help parents and carers of children aged 0-2years learn simple, practical ways to encourage their child’s communication, play, and early learning. Families taking part will receive a free book each week to help build their own mini library.

We’d be very grateful if you could help us spread the word by:
• Sharing the attached poster on your social media channels, or noticeboards.
• Encouraging families who may benefit from the programme to come along to the launch or contact the Family Hub for more information.

We love a rhyme bag! We’ve created this one for representing each of this year’s five songs with an object:

🏴‍☠️When I was One
👛 Sing a Song a Six Pence
🥚Humpty Dumpty
🐦🐦 Two Little Dickie Birds
⚡I Hear Thunder

Show your child the rhyme bag to let them know it’s “singing time”.

Then ask them to pull out an object from the bag, or give them a choice of two of the objects, to choose which song to sing.

Once you have finished the song, wait then ask if they would like “more” or “finish” before moving on.

Happy singing! 🎶

Do you have a child at nursery or school who has communication needs? Building connection, trust and relationship with the child through child led play sessions is a great place to start when helping a child who is struggling to communicate. This gives a solid foundation for you to model language and speech to them and them to enjoy interacting with you. Grab a bag of toys and follow their lead, give them space to talk (be quiet) and don't ask too many questions.
