- Early communication skills: joint attention, pointing, making choices

- Building vocabulary by identifying or labeling single words

- Expanding from words to phrases (ex. “on” to “on the table”)

- Answering simple “wh” questions (What, Where, Who)

- Using pronouns (he/she/it) correctly.

- Practice core words on AAC devices.

- Building literacy skills

The books can be printed in color for repeated use or black and white to share with families.

They are designed to be used as a simple early book that can easily be shared with families (black line copies) or constructed as an interactive for repeated use and high engagement (laminated pieces with Velcro).

As a bonus, you also receive sign language cards (color and black line) for added language learning support.
