Learn to Talk: First Words is a new iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch/Itouch application that
facilitates language development in one to three year-old children.
As a parent you lead your child through the natural hierarchy of communicative intent, beginning with high impact words, expanding meaning by changing intonation of speech, adding vocabulary including nouns, and verbs, and then developing early syntax, simple combinations of words.
The First Words deck includes early building blocks of nouns, verbs and two term combinations: action-object such as "kiss baby" or agent-action such as "daddy walk."
The natural progression for this deck is as follows:
High Impact Words
Acquire initial exclamations or comfort words.
Objects
Acquire approximately 50 object nouns.
Actors
Learn approximately 10 main actors.
One Word Actions
Next develop these single word utterances by expanding intonation patters to express a variety of intents with a single word.
Two Word Actions
Syntax and grammar emerge as the child begins to combine 2-3 words, and seek to expand their communicative ability.
