by Michelle Macroy-Higgins (Author), Carlyn Kolker (Author)
When it comes to language acquisition, all parents have questions...and?this invaluable resource?has all the answers.
When should I expect my baby's first word? Is my toddler on his way to talking soon? Is my child speaking as clearly as her peers? All parents end up thinking questions like these during their children's formative years, but too few act on them, assuming the answers are too unpredictable to be certain. Time to Talk answers these questions for the curious parent.
Written by an experienced speech-language pathologist and mom, this practical and proactive guide will help parents:
- Understand the building blocks of speech and language
- Monitor progress against expected milestones
- Enhance their child's communication skills
- Spot signs of potential problems with hearing, speech, or language development
- Address common concerns, such as articulation, late talking, stuttering, dyslexia, etc.
- Foster literacy
- Raise bilingual children successfully
Your child's language acquisition no longer must be a guessing game for you. From baby's first babbling to reading readiness, Time to Talk provides everything a parent needs so this vital fundamental skill doesn't have to be left to chance.

Are your child's speech and language skills on track? From babbling to fluently expressing thoughts, the developmental journey is filled with milestones. You might recognize some, such as when your child says her first words, but others are harder to spot.
Does your child respond to her name by 12 months? Should you worry if your toddler isn't speaking? What if your preschooler struggles with the r and l sounds? Can your four-year-old rhyme words? Does your kindergartener show key signs of reading readiness? Time to Talk unlocks the mysteries of speech and language acquisition, and helps parents carefully monitor progress. Both troubleshooter and skills booster, this definitive guide provides timelines of what to expect from infancy to elementary school; quick answers to common questions; red flags to watch for; simple activities to boost communications skills; guidelines for handling common problems, such as articulation issues, late talking, stuttering, and dyslexia; tips for getting the best results from therapy; clear explanations of medical advances; advice for fostering bilingualism; and reassuring stories of parents and children who have faced and overcome challenges. And whether kids are working through obstacles or hitting targets, Time to Talk will put them on a firm path to literacy success.
