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 |
|---|---|---|
| Books with pictures Picture books | 1. Get 2 simple books with clear pictures. Or choose flap or pop-up books. Offer the child a choice. The book the child reaches for or looks at is considered the child's choice. 2. Get comfortable with the child and look at the first picture. Use lots of animation in your voice and lift the flap or move the pop-up feature or point to an item on the page and name it at the one word level e.g. 'Look...........apple!' or 'Look...........monkey'. 3. The child may not want to continue very long with this ......a few minutes attention is OK. Finish the activity on a good note even if you have only liked at one or two pictures. | Keep the experience short and snappy Use simple language to label pictures - 1 or 2 words at the most Repeat, repeat, repeat! |
