Toddlers form language through meaningful repetition of early developing sounds. Children develop vocabulary, prosody, and intonation of speech and language and achieve accelerated linguistic growth when parents read to them for 20 minutes a day. This series provides early phonetic awareness by repetitively pairing an action word with a familiar object to expand an utterance. If your child will not sit for 20 minutes, read to them for five minutes in the morning, ten minutes in the afternoon, and five minutes at bedtime or until the reading time adds up to 20 minutes.
