  Speaking and listening are an integral part of whole language development and therefore need to be encouraged at an early age. The activities in this book are designed to foster a sense of purpose for speaking and listening, developing confidence and competence from a basis in the child's own world. The activities are based around areas which are likely to be found in most playgroups, nurseries and reception classes: sand and water; outside; role play; art and craft; construction toys; quiet games; on the carpet and the discovery area. Special attention is drawn to forging links wih parents and speaking and listening in a multicultural society.
