Wendy's Winter Walk
"Great Way To Promote Generalization! This book is a great way for kids to be exposed to a repetition of target sounds in a fun and engaging way. Kids can hear the sounds read to them and practice the sounds themselves. This book is a great way to start a conversation about how to move your mouth to produce the sounds. In addition, the fun storyline and engaging pictures allow you to easily target language skills (describing, retelling, predicting, etc). This book is a great way to functionally practice skills and promote generalization. I will use it in my Speech Therapy practice and recommend it for home use. I’m excited see what sounds the next book targets!" - Meanie, SLP
"I feel like I’m winning as a parent when I read this to my daughter - icing on the cake is she loves it too! There is an adorable song that goes along with the book on the author’s website. We sing it together...the worm ewww! Can’t wait for the next book in the series." - Anonymous Barnes and Noble/Google Reviewer
"My 3 Year Old And I Adore This Book Already! I got this book as an Advanced Review Copy because I signed up for it through Twitter. I am SO glad I did. My daughter is 3 and my son is 1 and he’s a littttttle too young, but she LOVES it! I’m pretty sure I know it by heart now. My daughter loves the puppy in the story, and I saw the next cover has a lot of cats- 100% going to order it as soon as it’s ready!!!!!!" - Emma May, Barnes and Noble Review
"Wonderful book for learning sounds! Sweet story, that goes through some a snow time exploration outdoors and really goes out of its way to include the 4 sounds being focused on. For example, here's a line that includes multiple P, B, M, and W uses: "'Bye!' We say to my puppy, Pepper. Pepper wags his tail and waits in his warm, blue, bed." The whole book is structured in this way, and really tries to tell a story that is both entertaining for the kids, and educational at the same time. The only thing I could possibly add to something like this would be a faint, colored, underline to the letters emphasized to remind parents that they should enunciate those sounds more clearly." - Diedra Drake, Amazon Reviewer
Ted and Tina Adopt a Kitten
"My youngest is a Kindergartner who is loud and opinionated and has a slight speech issue. He'd enjoyed the first book in this series, 'Wendy's Winter Walk', so I bought 'Ted and Tina Adopt a Kitten' to expand our collection. Totally worth it!
As my opinion matters less than the intended audience, here's what my child's review: "The kittens are so cute!"
Okay, so parents may need more than that. 'Ted and Tina' weaves in the directions of mouth movements as well as incorporating the usage of the sounds, encouraging the child to repeat the sounds aloud. For an impatient six-year-old, my son giggled and delighted at making the sounds. Unlike with most books, he gets more practice and without realizing it, his speech is making improvements.
I highly recommend 'Ted and Tina Adopt a Kitten' for any young reader. " - L.T. Amazon/Goodreads Review
"This is a fun and adorable story about two siblings that adopt a pet cat. However, it is so much more than just a cute story. Since it focuses on a particular group of phonemes it can be used for other aspects of language as well. Children can practice saying these similar words to work on speech development. Beginning readers can listen and look for words that contain one of the featured sounds to develop auditory discrimination skills as well as letter and word recognition. Highly recommended as a book that will grow with your child." - Renae Gigon, Amazon Review
"This book is not only adorable it captures my daughters attention. I worry about her speech development because of mask wearing at her school/daycare. Reading this book helps me focus our reading efforts - which is transparent to my daughter (double win). After enjoying the first book in the series - Wendy’s Winter Walk - I shouldn’t be so surprised this one is equally amazing...but I am :) " - BT, Amazon Review
Greg and His Gecko Go Kayaking
"This is a charming little children’s story on its own merits, but is intended to help young children learn how to make K and G sounds. And so we are given the tale of young Greg and his pet gecko Kai. Greg makes a miniature wooden boat so Kai can ride it in the bathtub. There Greg embarks his gecko on a thrilling adventure over an imaginary sea where they encounter a great variety of different sea creatures. Illustrator Kawena VK’s playful and original images do a wonderful job of bringing the text to life." - Mark, Amazon Reviwer
"Great for early Readers. This book was just right for my early reader grandson. There were words he knew and words to sound out. My younger grandson also enjoyed having the book read to him. I would recommend this book to anyone with young children." - S. S. Amazon Reviewer
"A perfect book to read to your pre-schooler. It's a quick read with beautifully illustrated pages. The questions can be fun and create silly interactions when kids say the darnedest things. Helpful too." - Sunny Smith, Amazon Reviewer
"As a speech/language pathologist I love this book. It is an excellent story for teaching the /k/ sound as well as introducing children to other animals. The author also provides tips in the back for parents. " - ChildPub, an Amazon Reviewer
