📸 Sometimes the BEST language tools are already in your camera roll!
Want to encourage more language at home? You don’t need fancy flashcards, expensive toys, or perfectly made communication books.
Use what your child already knows and loves. 💛
Make a little book with pictures of:
• Family members and friends
• Teachers and classmates
• Favorite toys or characters
• Pets
• Favorite foods
• Places you visit often
You can even save the wrapper or package from a favorite snack and add it to their book!
Then keep it simple: look, point, label, and talk.
“There's Grandma!”
“You love Goldfish!”
“Look, it’s your friend!”
“Daddy is wearing a hat.”
And remember....you don’t have to quiz them or ask them to repeat the words. Just model the language and enjoy looking together.
When something is meaningful to a child, there’s so much more to talk about. 💙
