First Words: How to Talk to Toddlers so They Learn to Talk | Board Book to Help Toddlers and Late Talkers | Created by a former Speech and Language Therapist. Ages 0-4
Help Your Toddler Learn to Talk First How to Talk to Toddlers so They Learn to Talk is a unique board book created by a former Speech and Language Therapist to help parents support early communication through books.
Sharing books with your toddler is about so much more than reading words on a page. It creates precious moments of connection while also providing one of the best opportunities to support your child's speech and language development.
Children learn language through interaction, not simply from hearing words. The conversations, turn-taking and shared attention you create together during story time help build the foundations for communication.
First Words is more than a first words book; it's an interactive communication tool. Rather than simply reading the words or repeatedly asking questions like "What's that?" or "Where's the...?", this book gives you simple, practical ideas for exactly what to say and do as you look at the pictures together.
Created as an engaging imitation book for toddlers, it encourages children to copy actions, sounds and words, one of the most powerful ways young children learn language. Every page helps transform story time into meaningful back-and-forth interactions that encourage engagement, participation and communication while strengthening the bond between you and your child.
