Down the Slide: A ‘Words Together’ Storybook to Help Children Find Their Voices
Down the Slide, part of the ‘Words Together’ series, has been created to support children to understand and use two-word sentences.
Using the pivot word ‘down’, the simple story and repetitious structure provide an opportunity for the child to hear and experience the sentence structure in new ways. Bright and colourful illustrations provide rich opportunities for conversation and engagement.
This storybook is an exciting resource for early years practitioners, parents, and those working with children at an early stage of speech and language development.
