Beyond Baby Talk: From Sounds to Sentences, A Parent's Complete Guide to Language Development

Customer Reviews:

A book for every parent!

By Margueritte Malone CCC-SLP - August 7, 2001

As a parent, grandparent, and speech-language pathologist, I highly recommend this book on language and early literacy development. Mastrson and Apel have written an easy to read, fact filled book that will help parents and early childhood teachers understand the mystery of the greatest gift we have, in language and communication. The book gives excellent advice for parents and helps them understand how important early language development is to preventing reading failure. This is one of the best gifts for "parents-to-be" or new parents. I will use it in working with parents of pre-schoolers who have language delay and also share it with family members as well.

Invaluable information

By A Customer - October 27, 2001

I absolutely loved this book! I devoured the entire book, then went back and reread the section that pertained to my son's age group. It was so refreshing to hear that you don't need a bunch of gimmicks, flash cards, or tapes to help your child learn language. They really focus on what is gained from every day interaction and play with your child, and how to use daily situations to enhance language development. Loaded with commom sense information that takes you out of the competetion mind set and helps get you in sync with your child. This was the first book I have read specifically about language development, and I am so glad I chose this one!

Good information, too repetitive

By mommyofone - October 20, 2007

The goal of the authors is to inform parents about: how children (birth to age five) develop language, the factors that influence language development, and possible causes of language problems. They also hope to show how miraculous language development is and how important a role parents play. The book is not intended as a reference for parents of children with language development problems.

The first four chapters cover the language skills that children develop in their first year, second year, third and fourth years, and fifth and sixth years. There are also chapters regarding the influence of gender and birth order, culture, and the media; language development and childcare; and where to get help if you suspect a developmental delay. There is also a reference chart showing developmental milestones from birth to age five. The focus is on spoken language, although there is some discussion on the beginnings of reading, writing, and spelling.
