Chatter Matters is available for postage and packing costs only.
Ready Steady Talk activity book
Moving up to pre-school is a big change for any child, and you play a vital role in helping them develop the speech and language skills they need. This is a fun-filled activity pack which helps prepare them and comes highly recommended by early years professionals.
Ready Steady Talk is available for postage and packing costs only.
