Introducing Talk Tales: Simple Words
The Baby Bobby Book, a Gateway to First Words !
The app is designed to be engaging and fun.
It is important to allow the child to go at his/her pace with each target sound.
Tailored for children taking their first steps in speech, this app is a boon for those with apraxia who are beginning to find their voice. Simple words and sounds take center stage in this interactive learning experience.
Beyond just mouth videos and engaging story animations, the Talk Tales: Simple Words app introduces a musical element. Each word comes with its own catchy tune, transforming learning into a lively serenade. And for an extra dose of fun, there's a rollicking ensemble song featuring all the words. With Talk Tales, the journey to speech is not just educational, but also a joyful musical adventure!
