One of our absolute favorite books right now is The Imitation Book by Stephanie Anderson, MS, CCC-SLP! It has been a hit in our house (my daughter asks for it on repeat!).

What I love most is that it doesn’t just tell a story, it provides opportunities for engagement with your child. Every page is an opportunity for imitation, movement, and connection!

As an SLP, I’m always looking for books that naturally support early communication skills. This one does exactly that through simple, interactive moments that feel like play.

A few things it helps build:
✨ imitation (gestures + actions)
✨ joint attention
✨ engagement and turn-taking
✨ early communication skills
✨ connection between you and your child

So how do you read it?
Read the words, model the action, pause and wait!

That simple expectant pause is where so much communication begins.

It’s one of those books you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again because it just works! AND more importantly, your child will love it!

If you’re looking for a fun, interactive way to support early language development at home, this is such a great one to add to your bookshelf 💚

Join Jenna for Storytime with Sprout ✨📚

Today’s story is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

During storytime, Jenna is modeling language using an AAC device! AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) can help support children with communication by providing another way to participate, interact, and express themselves. Modeling AAC during activities like reading helps encourage language growth in a fun and natural way.

Reading together helps build language, engagement, and connection, and adding AAC into storytime helps make books even more accessible and interactive for all learners.

We hope you enjoy today’s Storytime with Sprout! 🌱

We’re excited to be a proud sponsor of the Quincy Public Library’s Summer Reading Program! ☀️📖

At Sprout Therapy Co, we believe reading is one of the most powerful tools for a child’s growth and development. Reading helps build language skills, strengthens imagination, supports emotional development, and encourages lifelong learning. Even just a few minutes of reading each day can make a lasting impact on a child’s communication and confidence.

Be sure to check out the Quincy Public Library’s Summer Reading Program and all the amazing activities they have planned this summer! ☀️
