So far, over 4,000 schools and early years settings have signed up to No Pens Day which celebrate the power of communication skills, as well as raising funds to help support the 1.9 million children who struggle with talking and understanding words in the UK.
Number of children with speech and language challenges at record high
Children in participating schools will take part in the biggest ever show and tell, a day of talking and listening activities where pupils bring in something to talk about in front of the class. Items can include an object from home, a photograph, an item of clothing – or something imaginary – that they want to talk about.
