We are helping children to acquire new vocabulary through an innovation called ‘Box Clever’.
It has been developed by speech and language therapists and aims to help children store new vocabulary systematically. It aims to increase the way children access newly learned vocabulary in general communication, through play scenarios. Box Clever focuses on nouns, then adjectives, then verbs and then moves onto using the new vocabulary in play and general every day interactions.
Our first Box Clever topic is ‘Nativity’. Children are handling the Nativity characters and relevant objects through play and at group times. Vocabulary is reinforced throughout the nursery.
