Infants
begin to string sounds together, purposefully imitating and replicating
sounds, eventually repeating multiple syllables. For babies, these sound
strings, which may or may not sound like the adult forms of words, stand
for things in the world (e.g., "ba" may represent a favourite toy ball).
Toddlers progressively build vocabulary and begin to learn the principles
of word order and the unwritten rules of when and how to speak (e.g., "red
car" not "car red"). |
Get the most
out of your LeapPad Little Touch Learning system. Pair gestures with important words! Before babies are able to talk, they can gesture to signify their needs. Select a set of words and decide what gestures to pair with them. By consistently pairing these gestures with the words, your baby will begin to communicate with you earlier than is possible through speech. Have a conversation about the words on each page. Even babies who can't talk to you benefit from listening. As you read ask a simple question. "What's that?" Then answer the question yourself. -That's the moon!" Point to objects on the page, then point out the same objects in the environment around you. As you point to a jumper on the page, point to your baby's jumper and repeat the word "jumper." This helps baby begin to understand that one word represents a set of many objects with similar characteristics. Once your child produces first words, start asking more thought-provoking questions. For example, "Why is the baby happy?" In general, good openers include---Why... ?" "How ... ?" 'Where ... ?" |

| Those
Precious First Words...
Activities and music will engage and delight, as this talking "word
book" introduces your little one to first words. As you talk to your baby and introduce various speech sounds, you encourage the production of babbles that will form a foundation for more advanced language development. Hearing speech sounds allows even the youngest babies to focus on sound distinctions. So even before children are able to start producing words, they are benefiting from hearing the words associated with objects. Starting at about six months, babies begin to understand what certain
sound strings (or words) mean. At around twelve months, babies may begin
to produce consistent speech sounds to form somewhat understandable words. |
