Enrich Every Child’s Communication Skills
For children developing typically, experiencing language delays, or learning a new language

Learn to engage every child in conversation! Why? Because conversations are some of the richest opportunities we have to help children learn and practice expressive language skills. Something to Say offers effective techniques to help draw even the most reticent and unskilled child into conversation, giving him the valuable learning opportunities he needs to become a skilled communicator.

Something to Say teaches you how to:
Identify the best moments and topics for sustained conversation

Connect with each child, setting the stage for rich interactions

Use no-pressure conversation starters that invite a response from children of all ability levels
