#6-12 months
The best way to help your baby develop their language and literacy skills between 6 and 12-months-old is through songs, nursery rhymes and talking to them. Talking to your baby will help them to learn new words and sounds, which will help to build their confidence when it comes to making noises and speaking their first words. Words for Life provide a range of activities for your baby to help work on their early milestones before starting nursery.
