#1-2 years #Chatting
Chat, learn and play with your toddler to improve their early literacy skills and improve their confidence in communicating. Support your 1 to 2-year-old in reaching their literacy milestones. By the age of 2, many children can say around 50 words. Words for Life provide activities, songs, games and nursery rhymes to help you practise English language reading and speaking skills at home.
