Is your child just beginning to say words? Does your child already talk but have difficulty saying the ending sounds on words? Easy-To-Say First Words was designed by a licensed and ASHA certified speech-language pathologist to help your child learn first words and improve articulation.
Easy-To-Say First Words is perfect for early talkers because it encourages children to imitate easy-to-say one-syllable words with early-developing consonants (bat, up, cake, hop, eat). Difficult-to-say words (for example: elephant, strawberry, flower) are not included in the book. Unique and engaging illustrations will capture your child's attention and the interactive nature of the book will motivate your child to say new words.
If your child is struggling with articulation of final consonants, this book is designed to stimulate awareness of final consonants through repetition.
A guide explaining how to read this book with your child and how to help your child with his/her speech and language skills is included.
