It’s never too early to build communication skills — and books make it fun! 💬📚
We’re loving My First Learn-to-Talk Book by Stephanie Cohen, M.A., CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist who designed this book to help little ones move from sounds to words through play and repetition.

From an SLP’s perspective, it encourages imitation, sound awareness, and early word use.
From an OT’s perspective, it supports page-turning, pointing, and visual attention — all skills that strengthen coordination and engagement.
