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

| Tactile examples of the child's written name Template of the child's name. Cardboard Sandpaper Shiny paper | 1. Cut out the letters of the child's name in crinkly cardboard/ sandpaper. 2. Match the letters you have cut out to a template of the child's name. 3. Praise the child for matching. 4. Help the child trace their name with their finger over the cardboard/sandpaper letters. 5. At the end say the whole name and point to it making sure the child is focused on the name. | Make sure the child is looking at what you want them to look at. You may need to gently direct their head and point to the thing you want the child to notice. Allow time for the child to explore new material before working with it. Be consistent. Give lots of praise. Use short 2 word phrases. Repeat things. |
