At the end of each session, practitioners will provide parents with take-away sheets with key messages for supporting their child’s communication development and simple activities to try at home. These are available to photocopy in your First Words Together toolkit, but we will be adding more take-away sheets here with QR codes linked to voiceovers in community languages. Certificate for familiesAdapted from National Literacy Trust’s Early Words Together , this programme aims to support children who may need help with communication before the age of two. The First Words Together programme builds knowledge and confidence in early years practitioners and professionals. It also develops the skills and confidence of parents and carers, enabling them to consistently support their child’s early speech, language and communication. Love, hate, or feel meh about Harry Potter, it’s hard to argue that J.K. Rowling filled the books with i ntentional writing choices. From made up words to the meanings of names to the well-scripted first and last lines of each novel, Rowling wanted to the writing to match the intricate fantasy world she created for the now-iconic boy wizard. To examine a few of these choices, I’ll be taking a closer look at the first line of Harry Potter, as well as the last lines, from all of the Harry Potter novels. Scarry was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Mary McClure and John Scarry Sr., who were of Irish-American ancestry and ran a small department store chain. [3] [4] Scarry had four siblings: older brother John Jr., younger sister Barbara, and younger brothers Edward and Leo. [5] The family enjoyed a comfortable life at their 32 Melville Avenue home in the Dorchester neighborhood, [5] even during the Great Depression. This is, perhaps, the most on the nose way for Rowling to echo the previous opening Harry Potter sentences. In case you forgot or didn’t read the previous two books in the series: HARRY POTTER IS WEIRD. He’s weird and he doesn’t belong in the world of the Dursley family. This tension fuels this dramatic opening where (as readers know) Harry will disastrously blow up his cruel Aunt Marge and run away from home before making it to school this year.

First Words Together is being externally evaluated by CREC. It is important to collect survey data from both practitioners and parents to pass on to CREC and we ask for your timely support with this. The programme also builds knowledge and confidence in early years practitioners and professionals. Practitioners are trained to deliver weekly sessions that include evidence-based, fun activities based around five top tips, to build the foundations of communication that parents can easily repeat in the home. This then encourages positive change to a child’s home learning environment.
