Just examples of how I weave strategies into simple interactions as we play. I know many of you loved this content when it was in my stories so I’ll try to add some more permanent versions to reels.

• Follow her lead – playing peekaboo
• Putting words to her signs to her her I’ve understood
• Imitating vocalisations
• Modelling the next step – a two word sentence ‘mammy’s milkies”. Signing both
• Following her lead, putting words to what she’s pointing at
• Imitating car noises and adding the word “car”
• Back to playing peekaboo! Adding simple language to this and that she could imitate “boo”
• Not talking whilst she’s focussing on climbing. Sitting at a distance and trusting she knows how to climb
• Using the same word as before and using lots of repetition
