Parents of children with poor verbal comprehension, either as a developmental delay, a hearing loss or a specific language problem, are often encouraged to try to give their child a very structured and predictable daytime routine where possible. These jigsaws are another tool for emphasising structure and helping them to learn what happens next.

Maybe start something like this with the Getting up Puzzle - "The little girl has woken up - she's getting out of bed, what next? Yes she will put on her clothes - she's getting dressed - then she will eat her breakfast. She's putting on her coat - but no school today, she is going to the park to feed the ducks!"

The getting ready for bed sequence could be done in real time as you work through your own teatime, bath-time and bedtime routine for extra emphasis.

Because these puzzles relate to children's activities there are plenty of opportunities for practicing 'doing words' - playing, yawning, brushing, sleeping, stretching, eating, dressing, feeding, driving, shopping, drinking and so on.
