The foundation for language and literacy begins at birth. SmartNoggin has developed a research-based board book, SmartNoggin’s Baby’s First Book of 44 SOUNDS, which includes all 44 sounds of American 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. The book includes SmartNoggin’s Oral Motor Teether, a food grade silicone teether to help oral motor strengthening. Beginning day one, a baby’s brain is making neural connections that help them sort and store the sounds they hear spoken, read, and sung to them throughout their day.
