Videos to support parents to chat, play and read with children at home

Time to Talk Warwickshire is currently working with Warwickshire County Council to develop materials to support learning at home, consulting early years practitioners to find out what resources would be most helpful. 

You will already find lots of helpful resources on the Time to Talk website, including three videos linked to the national 'Chat, play, read' campaign which supports and encourages parents to provide opportunities to do all three activities with their children at home to support early learning. 

These are helpful resources to share with parents and carers who may be at home with their younger children at the moment as they provide examples of everyday strategies for chatting, playing and reading that can be used to boost their child's development. 

There are also lots of suggestions for home learning that don't require any special equipment, such as making spaghetti sculptures or going on a 'sound' treasure hunt.

Time to Talk home learning resources

More resources will be added to the website soon to support early learning environments, including activity ideas for practitioners to make available to families and some training for selected settings. We'll keep you updated here so watch this space!
