Please click on the above link for our Nursery Rhyme of the week. You will find Makaton to go along with this Rhyme on our communication board within the ECC cloakroom. We are raising knowledge of phonological awareness and would appreciate if you could do this with your child at home emphasising the rhyming words within the rhyme and ensuring the correct word order.

Communication Survey

Please find above the link for the Communication Board Survey. This survey provides helpful feedback on ways to improve our board and aid your child’s communication at home and within the ECC so if you have a few minutes spare I would appreciate your participation. Thank you to the 36 people who have replied already. This survey is completely anonymous.

Communication Board update

This week our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Twinkle, Twinkle Little star and our Makaton signs are star and sky please see the board for a demonstration of each sign these signs will change weekly. Newly added to our board is a yellow recordable disk which will be used to record different children reciting the Nursery Rhyme of the week please press the black button to hear these rhymes. We would appreciate if you could reinforce the Nursery Rhyme and Makaton at home as this aids communication and language skills. Our top tip is still regarding watching TV and will change every two weeks. I have added a flyer about the Speech and Language Therapy Facebook page which can be found by searching Speech and Language Therapy East Ayrshire here you can find info, resources and tips to use with your child please take a look.

This board is to provide information and examples to aid your child’s communication and language development and to provide relevant information in regards to the speech and language team should you have any concerns regarding your child’s speech. This weeks Makaton signs are linked to our nursery rhyme of the week which is baa, baa, black sheep please sing this with your child at home and add in the signing. We also aim to provide a top tip of the fortnight with the first one being in regards to the television please see our communication board for more information.
