Story Sacks for use in Speech and Language Therapy

The first two story sacks are presented by Anne to Alison.  The sacks will be used by Speech and Language Therapists working with pre-school children, both at Harrogate hospital and in the community.  Alison told the members of Nidderdale branch that as many as 1 in 6 pre-school children are language deficient, and that the story sacks were a wonderful idea for helping to encourage children to talk about the books that were being read to them
