Bilingual quick tips

Our bilingual quick tips cover topics including playing with your baby, sharing books with your baby and talking to your baby in your own language.

We have created a series of bilingual quick tips, in 19 different languages, for parents and early years practitioners to help children develop good talking and listening skills.

If the language you need isn’t listed below, we have created a blank template for each topic so that you can adapt it to the desired language. Please do send any new translations of the quick tips to talktoyourbaby@literacytrust.org.uk so that we can share them more widely with families, nurseries and schools.


If you are working with multilingual families, our Time Together booklet has been translated in to 22 different languages and is packed with fun and simple activities that support language development.

Don't forget - we have lots more free early years resources created by literacy and communication experts.
