Talk Tales: Simple Sounds

Three stories in one app that target early sounds: 

Vowels & Grunts, Exclamations, and Animal Sounds

​

Designed especially for children with apraxia who may be nonverbal or have limited verbal abilities, this app is a dynamic gateway to speech development. Focusing on vowels, exclamations, and delightful animal sounds, it creates a foundation for learning words.

​

Within the app, there are three interactive stories. Children will find engaging videos showcasing precise mouth movements for each sound, providing visual cues for effective learning. Add to that, captivating story videos that infuse meaning and context into every word. 

​

And there's more!! Each story in the app has a corresponding movie providing an additional fun way for children to practice all of the sounds they have learned.

 

How Should I Use this App with My Child?

1. Repeat target sounds in a fun animated way, so that the child has a model. Make sure the child sees your face.

2. Click the videos and imitate the sounds in the videos.

3. Pause to give the child the opportunity to say a word, but do not try to make the child say the word.

4. Let the child press a target word often. Repetition is the key to learning.

5. Go to talktalesbooks.com to learn more and to download a target words coloring sheet.

 

DO NOT make interaction with this app “work,” or the child will shut down. Let the child lead and have fun with the app. The child may need to hear the words multiple times before he/she makes a word attempt.
