sounds lead to words, words lead to sentences and sentences tell stories
Storytelling fosters connections with those around us by creating unique and memorable experiences. We empower you with resources that promote communication skills, by dissecting contextualized words to highlight sounds that are the building blocks of a narrative. Capture the imagination of your child and hold their attention as you both share a learning adventure one moment at a time.
about the author
l. Caroline Terpstra
Hi there! I’m a speech-language pathologist who has been working in the profession for over 25 years. Throughout my practice, I often found myself reaching for books when introducing new concepts, particularly with the younger children. But, I always felt it would be fantastic, if the books would have a predetermined set of goals with fun story lines. No brainer books! My love of books and literacy prompted the idea of writing a book series. It gave me the opportunity to pack into them early learning skills that are essential in a child’s development of speech sounds, oral language, and literacy.
