Language through Play

Welcome!

This FREE video series has been made in partnership with Key Communication.

As a charity, all of our video lessons are totally free of charge to everyone. To help us keep building new content, there is a small charge for the supporting resources to make your journey even easier.

If you are a family who can’t afford to purchase the supporting resources, please get in touch because we believe every young person should be able to have full access, regardless of financial situation.

So let’s get started!

Use the FREE Literacy Help Sheets for further guidance and support with this series.

  • The Language Through Play series looks at early language skills and how to introduce these concepts through play with speech and language therapy techniques. Whilst designed by a highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist, these videos do not replace individualised speech therapy. It utilises a variety of games, tools, and resources to build upon language giving you techniques to try with your child outside of the videos.

    These videos are best watched in order as they build upon language skills as the videos progress.
