My First Learn-to-Talk Book

by Stephanie Cohen M.A., CCC-SLP, CLC

Overview

Created by an early speech expert, this interactive first words book filled with fun-to-read rhymes helps little ones learn to talk!

Each page features:

• Simple, exciting sounds that are easy for little ones to imitate, and can be used to build bigger words
• Rhythm and rhyme to encourage repetition and help keep babies engaged, even before they can understand the text
• Real photographs that model correct mouth positions and support social emotional learning

Written by a speech-language pathologist, My First Learn-to-Talk Book is designed to help babies and toddlers master the skills they need as they learn to talk. Reading the book aloud helps caregivers easily model important aspects of communication for little ones—not only through sounds and words, but also with gestures, facial expressions and more!

"Caregivers will appreciate and learn from the easy-to-understand information... A great purchase for public libraries" — School Library Journal

From the Publisher

Toddler-PreS—Children learning new words is a huge developmental milestone. This board book aims to help caregivers understand how to encourage sounds and words with their little ones. "When the baby's sleeping, my mouth says shhhh!" In a note at the end, the author, a speech-language pathologist, explains that pairing facial expressions with a sound of exclamation helps children understand communication better. Caregivers will appreciate and learn from the easy-to-understand information. VERDICT A great purchase for public libraries, offering palatable science on nurturing.—Brooke Newberry
