Words Together - Böcker

This set, comprised of a guidebook and four colourful picture books, has been designed for parents and practitioners supporting children to understand and use two-word sentences. Written in a friendly and reassuring tone, the guidebook untangles questions and concerns that many parents and practitioners share around language development, such as whether children are reaching important milestones, whether they benefit from screen-time and dummies, and what to do if there might be a problem.

The simple stories and repetition provide an opportunity for the child to hear and experience the sentence structure in new ways.
