Child uses an action word and another word.
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

Eat some food yourself and say ' eating banana/apple/bread' etc Let the child play with the food. As he/she eats say 'Eating banana/apple/bread' etc Take a photo of the child eating/You eating/soft toys eating etc. Look at the photo on the camera and say 'Look.......eating apple etc.' Print the photo and put in a book. Show the child the book. Can he/she respond when you ask 'What's this?'
