Supporting Your Child's Speaking and Listening Journey

Welcome to Smart Kid Talk! This site should make you know about and assist your child in decoding and encoding speech. Learning, relation and success in school and in life are all based on communication.

As a parent, carer, or a member of the family, you will not fail to get practical information on how children develop language skills, the importance of the skills and how you at home, simply, can support the development of language in your child.
