đ **Words on the Line: Is Screentime to Blame?**
New research has revealed that 70% of people think today’s children use fewer words than past generations, with many struggling to express themselves confidently. A whopping 74% of adults point the finger at screensâphones, tablets, and TVsâas culprits hindering their speech development.
Even though parents want to boost their kids’ vocabulary at home, only a tiny fraction feel they know how to do it effectively. Thatâs where broadcaster and word aficionado Susie Dent steps in! Sheâs teamed up with Soreen, the beloved malt loaf brand, to jazz up our language skills with a fun twist.
Introducing “Wordplay” packs! These limited-edition Soreen Lunchbox Loaves come with more than just a delicious snack. Theyâre packed with fun new words, definitions, and delightful origin stories that can spark conversations and enrich vocabulary. Susie Dent believes moments, even as small as snack-time, can become learning opportunities. From quirky words like âkerfuffleâ to âhullabalooâ, these packs aim to make language lively and engaging.
Soreenâs Liz Jacobs adds, âWordplay fits effortlessly into busy family life, offering a snack, a smile, and a chance to learn together.â
