ABSTRACT
A collection of large pictures of everyday objects including two or three favourite toys
Seat the child beside you, turn the pictures over one by one, naming the objects until you come to a well-liked toy. Then say, for example: 'Oh look! Bricks! Let's go and find some.' The session then becomes a short play session with the bricks. Repeat this activity every day if possible, varying the type of toy, until the child begins to associate the pictures with the toys and starts to search for particular pictures. Then offer him the choice of toy to play with from three or four pictures. Spread the pictures out in front of him and encourage him by saying, 'Which one shall we have?' and pointing to the pictures in turn.
