We are super excited to be launching Chatterbox Cards at our nursery! The Chatterbox Cards provide suggestions for games, rhymes and activities which you and your child can do together wherever you choose. Research shows that just starting conversations with your child can help in ensuring the best possible start in their life. Chatterbox Cards focus on developing language skills which will help your child on the road to reading. They don’t take long to do at all, most of them can be done anywhere and they’re all great fun!
Every parent and their child will have an opportunity to choose one of the Chatterbox Cards (it doesn’t need to be in alphabetical order!), which will have a list of activities focused around the chosen letter on the back. Your child will get a sheet, where they will colour in the chosen letter after completing the tasks.
We invite you all to take part in our Chatterbox Challenge. The cards will be available everyday for you to choose – there is no limit on how many cards you can take in a week – just return one and you can take another! When you and your child complete the letter sheet, we would ask you to return it to the key worker to put it in their personal book.
Annemarie, our Learning to Talk champion, will be available to assist starting on Monday the 10th of September. If you have any questions, feel free to speak to Annemarie or any member of staff.
We can’t wait to welcome you on board with our Chatterbox Challenge!
