Dog & His Bone: A Speechy Story About Irregular Past Tense Verbs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994807606)

Written by a speech-language pathologist, this charming rhyming story was carefully crafted to support children ages 2-7 as they learn to use irregular past tense verbs such as ate, drank, and dug-skills that typically develop between 21/2 and 4 years of age. The rhythmic, predictable text gives children helpful clues so they can anticipate the correct verb forms and join in the storytelling with confidence.

The characters (Dog, Pig, Cat, and Bee) were carefully selected as they have early-developing speech sounds and simple names that make them easy for young children to say, imitate, and remember.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or SLP, this book is a joyful way to build early language skills through play and repetition.

Perfect for:

• Early language learners
