    Noisy Stories
    by Joan and Jessica Rivard

    "Noisy Stories consists of 11 repetitive, predictable interactive stories for children who are at all levels of communicative abilities. Noisy Stories has enabled language participation of children with various diagnoses: apraxia of speech, regular education development level, PDD/autism, reluctance to participate, language delays, selective mutism, shyness, phonological difficulties, deafness/hearing impairment, and English as a second language. Noisy Stories presents sounds in isolation and in combination in a developmentally appropriate manner. As each story is read, children respond verbally and with a sign, or with an AAC device. The stories are designed to help develop prereading skills and sound awareness and can be used in various settings: individual, small group, or circle time. The stories help build sound repertories for children who are nonverbal or who have low verbal abilities. Noisy Stories is based on the premise that children often learn best from other children."

    		Exploring the Speech Language Connection
    by Rhea Paul, Ph.D.

    From Book News, Inc. at Amazon: "Investigates the various connections between the earliest human sounds and subsequent language development. With special attention to tracheostomies, Down syndrome, deafness, and speech-motor impairments, the authors examine the interaction between speech and language in typical development and the effect that that interaction has on language disorders. The 11 chapters provide linguists, psychologists, and speech-language pathologists with theoretical and clinical applications for connecting speech and language in their work."

     

    The Social World of Children Learning to Talk
    by Betty Hart, Todd R. Risley
    From Amazon.com, "...Based on unparalled data from 2-1/2 years of observing the everyday interactions of 1- and 2-year-old children learning to talk in their own homes, Hart and Risley have charted the month-by-month growth of the children's vocabulary, utterances, and use of grammatical structures. The compelling narrative highlights reliability-tested research findings and is supplemented with numerous transcripts from observations and a list of 2,000 words of children's expressive vocabulary from 19-36 months of age..."
