Begin to link sounds with symbols
Using a selection of cards with pictures to represent different songs, encourage children to choose which song they would like to hear/join in with by selecting a card (thus linking an image to a song). Objects could also be used to visually represent songs, e.g. rubber ducks or finger puppets.
This is a simple way of linking sound and symbol, by linking images to familiar songs. The use of a pictorial menu of song titles can be helpful for children with Special Educational Needs.
PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) could be a useful tool if you have access to Widget or Communicate in Print. Liaise with nursery/school staff to see what they might be able to access.
