Top Talking Tips Booklet and Wallchart
A speech, language and communication resource
for the early years, from bumps to toddlers
We know that babies are born communicating, and that speech, language, and communication skills are central to their development.
This resource clarifies some of the key facts around this important area of early childhood development, all backed up by early years professionals in the Bradford district and beyond. There will be many things you already know, while other things might surprise you.
It was originally developed by Better Start Bradford in response to the 2022 Baby Week Bradford theme, Bradford Babies TALKING, with lots of help from local Bradford organisations and individuals involved in early years.
