Rules of Twos: ✨follows TWO step instructions ✨joins TWO words together ✨can be understood 50% of the time! How do we support speech and language development for all children... talk~read~play...succeed! Link in bio for our #bookboxes Play ‘Clip the ‘Category’ 🤩Does your child know the tricky word ‘occupation’? 🏠Can your child name 5 different places? 👊Our mantra at Little Birdie Books is that “it doesn’t matter how you play, but here are some ideas for what to say!” ✨Our speech language pathology knowledge of communication development combined with practical suggestions for learning through play at home can be found in our activity cards pictured above! Link in bio This is one of our favourite alphabet books! Highlighting the alphabet is not the only thing you can do while reading this book. Here are some language and early literacy skills you could consider: 💙 • First sound awareness (find me something that starts with a 'r' sound) • Word categories (There are lots of 'places' in a neighbourhood) • Similarities and differences (A shark has fins but an octopus has tentacles!) • Function of objects (We use ovens to bake or roast food) • Absurdities (it's odd for an owl and a cat to be sharing a boat!) • Story starter (One stormy night in the deep blue sea, a mermaid was singing a lullaby...) 💙 Make sure you hit SAVE so you can come back to this post later! 💙 For more rich reading tips, check out our blog or receive specifically written tips for some great picture books in our memberships and gift boxes!

Just saying ☝🏼 “We have a background in speech language pathology and we started Little Birdie Books because as parents realised there was a gap in what parents need to know in developing their child’s communication skills. We wanted more options to empower parents on which book to read whilst allowing play. This way we could bridge the gap between play and developing communication skills. Every Little Birdie Book box has two picture books, two rich reading guides for parents and two play activities. Every box is themed and all guides and activities support kids to be good communicators. It’s all about, reading, playing and talking.” 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Today’s #threelittlewords are Celebrate. Your. Defeats. Last night at the Xmas markets #christmasoncribb it bucketed down for all of 3 minutes. Just enough time to wet and damage many of our boxes and books 😢. So today Janice and I are determined to find the silver lining (apart from the obvious that Australia is in desperate need of rain) and #celebrateourdefeats. So here goes... 1. To the beautiful lady who still bought a #bookbox for her daughter despite getting saturated mid-purchase .... LOVELY 😍 2. Shout out to the guy who held a faulty boom gate open with his back during the rain ☔️ .... LEGEND 👊 3. To all the market shoppers (parents, OTs, speechies, teachers and unashamed lovers of picture books) who stopped, chatted and admired our #giftboxes.... THANK YOU 😉
