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.

| Describing a picture from a book Photocopies of main pictures from a favoured book Writing pens | 1. Choose a favoured book and photocopy the most important pages (about 4). Fold the photocopy to hide the text and photocopy again so that you have a picture with a blank space for writing. 2. Share the book with the child. Show the child the photocopies and discuss the pictures. 3. Write down a short phrase that the child has used to describe the picture in the blank space over the picture. 4. Make a dotted copy of the short phrase and help the child to over write this 5. You may need to use special pen grips to support he child writing. 6. The child can colour the picture after the writing as a reward. 7. You can make a short book like this and the child can make a cover page with a title and his own name. | Keep the writing activity as fun as possible by using only short phrases and having reward breaks. Keep writing activities relevant by matching them to appealing pictures or photos. |
