Concepts – Big/Small

Our colourful Concepts – Big/Small pack is designed to help children who require  additional support with their understanding and use of concept words (for example because of a language delay or disorder, general developmental delay or because the child has English as an additional language).

The charming illustrations and fun activities encourage use of the words in the correct context.
