Talking Buddies is a Slaintecare funded initiative from the Speech and Language Therapy Department in Laois and Offaly. We are launching our project tomorrow to coincide with Libraries Ireland National Ireland Reads Day, #squeeze in a read. Our key messages include ‘Read to your child everyday’, ‘How to get the most out of books’ and ‘It’s never too early to start reading to your baby’.

We have just published our website www.talkingbuddies.ie. On the website we have lots of FREE resources such as videos, leaflets, and posters and we will continue to add to this. Also you can check us out on Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter. We would love if you could share this information with the parents in your preschool.

To celebrate our launch tomorrow we are running some competitions on social media so like and follow us to be in with a chance to win some fabulous prizes!
