Speechie Guide To Building Language

Have you heard? One in five Aussie children is developmentally behind in their language skills before they even start school.

Speech pathologists, Rochelle Meurant and Priscilla Guidolin, from Murrumbidgee Allied Health Services, will be at Griffith City Library on Thursday, November 17 at 5:30 pm for the annual Speechie Library Talks campaign to help support children’s language and literacy development in the Griffith region.

The free Speechie Library Talk will give parents and carers a unique opportunity to learn more about how they can help develop their child’s language and literacy and help to set them up for success.

For about an hour, the topics under discussion will include choosing the right books, ways parents and carers can help to build language and literacy, encouraging interactions, how to support multilingual children through book reading, what to do if your child is having difficulties with reading, and more.

The presentation will also include an informative book reading of one of the Association’s Book of the Year winning books in either the birth to 3, 3 to 5 or 5 to 8-year-old category.
