Reading is a wonderful way to support learning, communication and imagination over the summer holidays.
Whether reading together, looking through picture books or listening to a story, these small moments can help build confidence, language skills and independence.
Here are a few simple ways to support reading at home:
1. Take books outside and read together under a tree.
2. Try making reading part of your daily routine. As well as a bedtime story, you could set a story time each day.
3. Visit your local library.
4. Try audiobooks — listening to a story together can be just as enjoyable.
5. Remember, comics and magazines count too.
6. Keep reading sessions short, relaxed and frequent.

SENSORY WATER PLAY
Looking for a simple summer activity to try at home? Water play is a lovely way to cool down, reset and have fun on a warm day.
Set up a sponge squeeze tray by filling a shallow tray or tub with water, then adding sponges in different shapes and sizes. Encourage your child to squeeze, pour, fill and empty cups or jars.
Through play, children can explore cause and effect, build fine motor strength and practise coordination.

It’s always lovely to get outside over the summer. Why not try a Makaton Nature walk? See which of these things you can find on a walk to your local park, in the garden or forest.
Help your child recognize the symbols and signs to encourage communication.
