Clarabelle's Scarf (Early Soundplay) - Softcover

It's cold on the cliffs. Clarabelle the calf has lost her scarf. She shivers and sniffs then giggles and laughs when she sees who's taken her scarf! Written by a speech and language therapist each story in the award winning Early Soundplay series helps parents and practitioners develop children's spoken and written language. The stories are packed with multiple repetitions of selected sounds and rhymes. Children love sound play it's fun! And it helps their ability to recognise and say speech sounds in different words. This is not only important for clear speech but also gives them a head start in phonics and learning to read and spell. The simple interactive story line makes it easy for children to anticipate what happens next and to join in when they hear the story again and again.

Sally Bates is a senior lecturer in speech, language and literacy development and is author of the award winning Early Soundplay series. She has also spent many a happy hour sharing stories and rhymes with her own children.
