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

Creates own narrative when reading a book

Appealing book - if possible without text.
  1. Sit near the child and take turns to talk about a page in the book.
  2. When it's your turn name and point to the pictures using 1 or 2 words.
  3. When it's the child's turn, help them to point if needed and give them the name of the picture: say "Look... car, big car."
  4. Help the child to point again and say 'look... ca..." Leave the phrase unfinished - can the child complete the phrase for you? If not say it for them as they would if they could.

Choose a much liked book.

Use phrases of 1 or 2 words only to name and label pictures.

Use lots of repetition.

Give the child time to explore materials and pictures in his/her own way.

End the activity on a high note - even if this means only doing the activity for a short time.

Use lots of praise when the child names or labels pictures.
Discusses pictures in a book
