Find out more about how to support your child’s communication and language at home

Did you know that 1.9 million children in the UK are currently struggling with talking and understanding words and their whole lives are potentially affected by this. (Speech and Language UK)

At the Children’s Literacy Charity, we know how vital it is to support language development from the very beginning. Strong language and communication skills are the foundation of children’s learning and wellbeing.

From their very first words, children begin building the tools they need to express themselves, understand others, and make sense of the world around them. These early skills are closely linked to later success in reading, writing, and learning at school. We’ve put together a helpful selection of resources to guide you in supporting your child’s language and communication skills.
