Please sing our Nursery Rhyme of the month with your child at home and feel free to try out the Makaton signs. Singing and signing with your child is a fun activity which promotes bonding, interaction and aids your child’s ability to hear the sounds within words. This impacts your child’s ability to read, write and spell as they progress through their School life.
