The Sound Alphabet: Teaching Sounds and Their Pronunciation

The Sound Alphabet is the result of many years of creative collaboration between speech therapist Elena Molchanova and psychologist Marina Kretova. The book is designed to launch speech in toddlers from the age of one, when a child tries to repeat sounds and actions from adults. This book will help parents support their little one's natural interest in producing sounds. One should not confuse the order of letters in the book with that of the alphabet. The letters in the speech therapy alphabet are arranged not in alphabetical order, but in the sequence in which the sounds they represent appear in children's speech. The sound selection of the manual is composed in a specific author's way, which allows for easily eliciting new sounds in toddlers' speech. Parents should read the simple verses emotionally, cheerfully and with enthusiasm while humming, hissing, singing, and articulating the necessary sounds distinctly. The child will imitate the adult. Clearly pronounce the exercises in the verses, demonstrate how to do it, so that the little one can repeat. Complete one spread per day. Bright, cheerful characters, and colorful design of the manual will make joint activities and games with toddlers easy and beneficial. Supplement the tasks. You can fantasize about different sounds, look for their sources in the surrounding space together with the little one, pronounce and repeat sounds.
