If you wonder if is possible to improve the child’s language while they play with sensory books, this post is for you!
To begin with, some time ago, I received a personalized order from a speech therapist for a sensory book that would be used with the children in their speech therapy office. I remember that this order had many specific requests and instructions on how each activity should be designed. But, this fact drew my attention to something I hadn’t stopped to think about: How can sensory books be used to stimulate language, not only with children with special needs but also in the daily life of any child? And today, you will learn about sensory activities and language.
What I found out
As a result, that stimulated me to research it. Thus, I learned was that like so many other skills, language development is something the child learns by playing. I learned that the sensory book can help children to develop and improve language because it helps to enrich their vocabulary with the name of colors, animals, numbers, shapes, and names of elements used in the book. These include buttons, zippers, textures, and connecting these meanings in their daily lives.
Examples
After that, I found this topic so important that I continue to read and research on the subject and that is why I even keep a board on my Pinterest called Speech Therapy Activities where I include simple ideas that we can do at home when playing with children.
The following are some examples of linguistic stimuli that you can find in the quiet books by Cute Book Store:
Food 
Shapes and colors 
Nature
In addition to having fun, the children can work their memory by remembering the names of the items in the book. As stated above, the child will also be able to say the name of the item out loud. Great, right? Furthermore, I have added a video of my child playing with one of my sensory books.
To conclude, improving language is one of the steps to obtain autonomy in child development. Moreover, with an age-appropriate sensory book, it can be a means of constructively guiding play between parent and child. If you liked this post leave your affection, your comment, and share!
