## **Small Talk - Little Ways to Make a Big Difference**

###

### **What is Small Talk?**

[Small Talk](https://small-talk.org.uk/) is a brilliant project that helps parents turn everyday moments from breakfast to bedtime to a trip to the supermarket into simple opportunities to build their child's language skills. No special equipment needed, just you and your child!

The [Small Talk website](https://small-talk.org.uk/) is packed with easy videos, tips and ideas to help you chat, play and read with your little one every single day.

### **Chat**

Babies love the sound of your voice! From the very earliest babbles, your baby is trying to communicate with you. Talking back and encouraging them helps them learn to speak and builds their confidence.

### **Play**

You are your baby's very first playmate! Simple games help your baby learn to use objects, get stronger, develop coordination and discover new things. Play doesn't have to be complicated — the simplest moments are often the best!

### **Read**

From birth, babies love hearing your voice as you share a story together. As they grow they will start to enjoy the pictures and colours, and reading together will help them talk earlier and do better at school.

[Visit the Small Talk website here](https://small-talk.org.uk/) and start making those little moments count!
