Hello everyone, SLT here. Parents often ask what books they should be reading to their children and I always say pick authors who use lots of repetition. Repetition is a fantastic way to learn language. After a few weeks of reading the same book (at bedtime or any other time you fancy), your child will be retelling the story while as he turns the pages.
Some of my favorite authors for little ones are Eric Carle, Julia Donaldson and Judith Kerr.
I also prefer diving into one author and then moving onto another one. This makes the books feel familiar.
Which book does your child enjoy?
Our kids love Julia Donaldson.
