Cynthia Pelman is employed as an Early Language Consultant as part of the Every Child a Talker programme to support early years staff in England to develop children’s speaking and listening skills. The programme resources are valuable because they are couched in ‘education-speak’, suitable for groups and classes, and based on activities which are already happening in classrooms. Cynthia looks in particular at the opportunities of water play, sand play and creating a camp. Evaluation and audit is also an integral part.
