We communicate and develop our language:

• When we talk about things that interest us
• When we listen to each other
• By noticing different sounds when we’re out and about
• By singing songs, saying rhymes and sharing books
• When we take on a role in play
• When we play games like ‘I spy’, ‘What’s in the box?’ or ‘Sound Bingo’
• By creating poems and telling stories which practitioners write down for us through ‘story scribing’
