SmartNoggin has developed a research-based board book with a powerful agenda… SmartNoggin’s Baby’s First Book of 44 SOUNDS™ includes all 44 sounds found in English in a colorful board book that is ready to help start a baby on their language and literacy journey. This book allows your baby to hear each sound used in a word and then pronounced in isolation, with the goal of helping your baby’s brain strengthen the neural connections needed to speak and read in the months and years ahead.
Evaluation comments:
“It’s an attractive book and even comes with a teether that my son loves!”
“The book itself is of superb quality. The cover and pages are thick– perfectly durable for young babies. The pictures within the pages are simple but interesting to look at. The format flows naturally and makes a lot of sense starting with simple single letters, then double letters, then vowels that have long and short pronunciations.”
“The pamphlet the company included is really informative.”
“This book is incredibly useful in getting baby acclimated to the sounds of American English. It’s a great tool to use when playing and engaging with my son. It’s a simple book, but I haven’t seen another book explain sounds this way.”
“It is a beautiful, colorful board book that has a lot of variety for a baby.”
“I like the pictures that accompany each sound, as they help my daughter understand what she is looking at and connect it with the sound she is hearing me say. I also like the variety and how the book focuses on the first sounds that are most important in the English language.”
“We’ve found this to be a fun book for us to read together. The pictures are beautiful and it’s helped my daughter make progress in her language development!”
