📚 2026 is the !

A UK-wide campaign led by the Department for Education and the National Literacy Trust is here to help everyone rediscover the joy of reading.

At London Speech Therapy, we LOVE using books in therapy. We get so much joy from selecting books that will speak to the interests of our client and support them in reaching their communication goals whether that’s to develop their vocabulary, enhance their grammar, help them with understanding questions or support them to learn more about a specific topic of interest before presenting that back to a group, there’s always a place for books and reading in therapy.

It’s important to start reading with children long before they can read or even talk. At home, as well as in therapy, we love talking around a story as we look at the pictures in a book. The You Choose series of books is absolutely perfect for this. Every single time you read the book or just look through the pages, the story unfolds differently; with different characters, locations, hobbies, jobs, food, houses, clothes and beds chosen every night, the story of infinitely interesting. And that’s what’s important right, igniting a sense of fun from reading.

Through sharing books with our clients, we’ll continue to support children with their language and literacy, and hope to inspire people of all ages to close the literacy gap, that can hold so many children back.

At London Speech Therapy, we’ve noticed an increase in language delay among our preschool clients. This aligns with recent research (Children of the 2020s, CLS & UCL), which found that higher screen exposure in under-5s is associated with less developed vocabularies.

From an SLT perspective, this makes sense. Screen time can compete with opportunities for joint attention, back-and-forth interaction and responsive communication which are all essential for early language development. However, screens rarely exist in isolation. They often co-occur with other factors such as caregiver talk, reading routines, childcare experiences and wider socioeconomic influences, and are unlikely to be the sole cause of delays.

Not all screen time is equal. There’s a big difference between passive scrolling and watching age-appropriate programmes together, where adults talk about what’s happening, sing along and share the experience. Importantly, research shows that active, interactive parenting activities such as reading, playing and talking are more strongly linked to better vocabularies than screen exposure itself. What children do instead of screens, especially two-way interaction, is a key protective factor.

✨ 5 top early language tips ✨
• Follow your child’s lead - observe what your child likes to play with and try and join in with this. Get down to their level and sit face to face with them so they can you see you communicate with them.
• Comment and narrate during everyday routines - use lots of repetitive, simple language in routine with visuals such as objects.
• Offer simple choices - instead of just giving your child what you know they want, offer a choice and accept eye gaze, point or grab as positive communication.
• Pause and wait, then model the language - for example wait for your child to show or tell you they want more of something.
• Reduce screen time where possible and choose TV over tablets and watch together
