The National Literacy Trust; "Small Talk"
Small Talk is a pilot project from the National Literacy Trust, run with the Department for Education (DfE).
It’s aimed at supporting parents to chat, play and read with their child at home as much as possible.

A child’s language development begins long before they start school and is shaped by the people and
places in their lives. Parents are their children's first teachers and there are so many simple ways parents
can help children learn and grow at home.

Small Talk is part of a wider National Literacy Trust initiative to improve the home learning environment for
0-5 year olds and will be running in seven areas across the country: Peterborough, Swindon, Newcastle,
Manchester, Birmingham Stoke and Nottingham.
