It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you

Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
---|---|---|
Playing in the water/sand with toy animals Plastic animals and a water/sand tray/pots/cups/etc | Watch the child playing with an animal in the sand or water and comment on the play at the two word level e.g. 'dog's swimming' or 'cat's hiding' or 'horse gone' Copy the child's activity and comment on what you are doing e,g, child makes dog jump........you make dog jump and comment by saying 'Dog jump!' | Choose activities that are motivating for the child. Keep language to the 2-word level. Allow processing time. Silence is OK while you wait for a suitable action from the child to comment on. Only use the short 2 word phrases you want the child to start using |
