As a pediatric speech therapist, these are some of my favorite books for building vocabulary, encouraging imitation, improving attention, supporting early communication, and making reading FUN for toddlers.
Reading with your child daily can support:
• First words
• Joint attention
• Early language skills
• Following directions
• Social interaction
• Speech sound development
• Parent child connection
