Activities for Toddlers: Book Review My Toddler Talks

Last night, on my Blog Talk Radio show, I reviewed Kimberly Scanlon's {M.A, ccc-slp} book My Toddler Talks.


There are so many things I love about this book that I KNOW you will love too. If I had to describe it in one phrase it would be "unintimidating and user-friendly"


What makes this book different?  Several things but the item that most stood out to me was that Kimberly gives you tips on what to do IF the suggestions she gives aren't working. She actually gives you Troubleshooting Tips,  using a wonderfully easy to remember Acronym R-A-I-S-E-S {you'll have to purchase the book to find out what it stands for!}. 


Kimberly keeps the easy to remember Acronyms going with two other sections entitled The Do Not List and Some More Tips: The Five Rs. For people like me who have a lot of information in their brains, these Acronyms are a lifesaver. It's also really great for those of us working in Early Intervention as we can easily give parents this information and they, too, can easily remember and implement it. 


Some of the other useful features in Kimberly's book are: a section on Toddler Activities that includes toys you likely already have, play routine scripts/sample routines, an Appendices FULL of useful charts, pocket guides and routine-ending song suggestions. Kimberly also has paired her Toddler Vocabulary chart with an app in iTunes, My Toddler Talks Word Tracker. 


Whether an SLP, parent, early childhood educator or just someone who wants to learn more about Toddler Activities and development you won't be sorry with the purchase of Kimberly's book. 

As always, thanks for reading. 

Until next time...keep helping your kiddos BLOOM.
