Raising Them Right

7 Reasons Moms of Late Talkers Are Swapping Regular Books for These

Everyone tells you to read to him more. So you do, every night, and he still barely says a word. What most moms don’t know is that with a late talker, the kind of book matters as much as how often you read. Here are 7 reasons moms are swapping regular books for these. Reason 2 is the one most moms wish they’d known sooner.

1. He stays for the whole book, so every page is a chance to learn a word.

With a regular book, he flips three pages at once and climbs off your lap. These books have a flap, pull tab or slider on every page, so there’s always something for his hands to do.

He stays for the whole book, and every page is another chance to learn a word.

2. He learns action words, not just the names of things.

In a regular book, “run” is just a word next to a zebra standing still. He can’t see what it means.

In these, he pulls a tab and the zebra runs while you say “run.” He peels the banana. He kicks the ball. Action words are what let him go from “ball” to “kick ball.” It’s also what sets these apart from flap books that just hide a picture.

3. The words stick better, because he’s already looking.

With a regular book, you point at one thing while he’s looking at another. Here, he finds the picture under the flap himself, so his eyes are already on it when you say the word.

A 1986 study found toddlers learn new words better when you name what they’re already focused on.

4. He hears the same word over and over, without you drilling it.

Toddlers learn words by hearing them again and again. But saying “cow, cow, cow” at a picture gets old fast, for both of you.

With a flap, he does the repeating. He finds the cow, closes the flap and opens it again, and every time you say “cow.” He gets the repetition he needs, and it feels like a game, not a drill.

5. You’ll actually do it every night, even when you’re exhausted.

Each page has one short sentence and one thing to find, so there’s nothing to plan. A book takes a few minutes, so it fits at the end of a long day.

Five minutes every night beats an hour you never get to.

6. You swap screen time for time talking with him.

Most of us lean on the tablet some days. But a 2024 JAMA Pediatrics study linked each extra minute of screen time to fewer words and sounds from toddlers by age 3.

These books are just as hands-on as a tablet. The difference is you’re right next to him, saying the words and waiting for him to try.

7. Words for his whole day, all in one box.

Most of a toddler’s first words come from everyday life: food, animals, cars, colors. This set covers them in ten books, one topic each: animals, farm, fruit, ocean, vehicles, shapes, colors, numbers, jobs and more.

Read a different book each night, and he’s back to the first one in ten days, so the words keep coming back.

The pages are thick board, so they hold up to grabbing, pulling and the odd chew. All ten come together in one gift box.
