Speech Therapy for Toddlers: 151 Activities and Games for Optimal Language Deve

This book is just a long list of things to do with "helping improve a toddler's speech" - easily Googled for free. I was under the impression this book was filled with workbook activities such as matching sounds (letters) to a picture of something that starts with the same sound (i.e. "sh-" matches with "shell") or identifying images on a page which all have the same ending sound (I.e. d-og, l-og, fr-og). Not "listen to different languages and have your child identify what language it is." I need to help my child pronounce "buh" instead of "puh" among other speech struggles, not point at things with a magic wand (as the book lists) and expect him to magically say the word correctly. I've already returned the book as it is in no way helpful.

It's not a speech therapy book as the name implies. It's a book about getting kids to talk earlier, how they pick up on speech cues as a newborn, games to play with your baby and toddler to develop speech earlier; but it offers nothing for articulation, lisps, etc. Pretty lame book: should be called - get your kid to talk by age 3 months. I bought it to help my 4 yr old with his speech therapy needs, had to return the book. Was not helpful at all for our needs.

Not very helpful for trying to help my 2 year old develop language skills. Not written particularly well or organized very well.
