The Big Book of Exclamations – Promote Speech Development

The Big Book of Exclamations is an educational book written by a speech pathologist and designed to promote speech sound development and imitation of gestures, sounds and words. Unlike most books, it doesn't have a story to read. Instead, along the bottom of each page there are prompts which teach parents/caregivers how to act out the illustrations and interact using gestures, sounds, words, or phrases depending on their child's ability. The book shows parents how to modify what they say about each illustration in order to maximize their child's communication potential. It is also filled with information which helps parents understand speech language development and it lists resources for those seeking advice. A wonderful book for young children with typical speech development and those considered "late talkers". It makes a perfect gift for new parents, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
