The development of speech sounds is an important part of learning the 'form' of oral language. As children gain speaking skills, they use speech sounds and words more intently to express their needs. Children start to produce speech sounds at different ages, however typically developing children follow a similar sequence when developing consonant sounds.

Nurturing and responsive learning environments are important for the development of strong speech and language skills. This includes frequent opportunities for children to share attention with adults, interact and hear language for a variety of different purposes. Reading with your child is the perfect learning environment.




This series has a specific sound focus, the alliteration and repetition make a fun yet educational read for you and your little one.
