My First Learn-to-Talk Book: Early Speech and Language Development Made Fun

I love this looks so much when my son turned one. I thought that he was not speaking enough so I purchased this book and we read it almost every day and now he is 22 months and he has so much vocabulary. I’m very pleased. This is a great addition for our parents to have in their library.

My baby is in love with this book

🌟 Book Review: “Learn to Talk” Series 🌟 As a seasoned birth educator and labor nurse, I understand the importance of early language development. The “Learn to Talk” series has been a game-changer for my child! In just 10 days, my little one went from speaking 6 words to an impressive 25 words. 📚✨ This beautifully illustrated series captivates young minds with engaging words and vibrant pictures. Each book is designed to encourage repetition and interaction, making it a fantastic tool for language development. The simple yet effective language patterns and the inclusion of everyday words have truly worked wonders. I highly recommend the “Learn to Talk” series to any parent looking to boost their child’s vocabulary and speech skills. It’s not just a book series; it’s a magical journey that fosters learning and growth. Mrs. Cohen please write more books!

My son was about 18 months old and not putting words together in sentenced yet. When he was born, he needed mouth surgery at 9 months and we always worried this would slow down his speech At 18 months, he knew about 10 words he used regularly but had a habit of saying words one time and then never saying them again. He communicated a lot with his eyes and hands, and he understood a lot of basic requests and understood a lot of what we said. Worried his speech would fall behind we got the book- read it for a few weeks, and by 19-20 months he is saying more words than we can count. Maybe that was just his time, but I think the book helped. I think the way the book was set up gave him confidence in how he pronounces his letters and I would recommend it to any parent worried about their young ones having a speech delay. We bought a few more books by this brand. The book lines up baby’s facial expressions and emotions with what they are saying and compares words that rhyme and sound a like/ really highlighting whatever letter is different.example- “when I’m thinking my mouth says hmmmm. When I’m eating my mouth says mmmmm” great book. Repetitive- and highlights those little differences in words for baby. Only problem- there’s one part where is says “when I’m surprised my mouth say “ah!” Or something and “when I’m sad my mouth says “wah.” For the next two weeks- when my son was sad (did get a second cookie or second cup of juice, when it was time to come home from the park, time to go to bed. Time to go inside….. my son wouldn’t cry. He would sit there and say “Waaaah. Wah! Wah!” He sounded like an adult pretending to be a baby. It was super weird and even his nana was like “what’s up with him going “waaah waaah wah” I laughed and we skip that part of the book now. But him literally saying the word “wah wah waaaaah” were pretty sure came right from this book because that’s the only place we would have heard “crying” like that and he wasn’t crying/complaining/whining/protesting like that before we started reading this book. But this book is amazing for building confident in young speakers. Very well done book!

My 11 month old loves when I read this book to him.

INTERACTIVE & REPEAT

This book was instrumental in helping my toddler learn facial expressions, meaningful vocalizations/gestures and simple words when he was around one year old. It encourages fun interaction and learning time with your baby.

My daughter (now 19 months, but first got this book at 12 months) is completely obsessed with this book. It features real pictures of real babies photographed making the sound that each page is focusing on. I'm so tired of reading this book, because despite an overflowing library of children's and board books, my daughter keeps coming back to this one and the other book written by the same author. She especially loves the page where the girl goes down the slide, so now whenever she goes down slides, she also says "whee!" and she signs "I love you" when we read the last page! Worth every penny for those moments and for helping her pronounce different sounds better! I've started giving this book as a first birthday gift, and every parent reports that their kid loves it!

Great quality and my son loves to recreate the faces and sounds in the book

My daughter absolutely loves it! She would imitate the photo of the child and tries to make the sound (granted, I did show her few times what each page meant). Some pages made no sense though, like zzzz for sleep yet the baby in the photo isn't exactly showing the mouthing position to do so but regardless, daughter still likes it.

I brought this book after seeing a speech therapist recommend it on a tiktok video. I was hesitant but ultimately took the plunge and so glad I did. We just have fun with it, and read it whenever my son picks it off the bookshelf, eventually he started mimicking some of the sounds so it does work!!

He loves it when i say show him the photos and he do the same reaction on the picture

Very good book! My kid loves it and learned how to say mmmmm and hmmm from this book
