Talk-Along Books

These educational stories are interactive and require interplay between the reader and your child who must supply the missing word which rhymes with the preceding line. Vocabulary development, spelling, auditory discrimination and attention to visual cues are stressed. In the Talk-Along series, each book teaches a different concept, such as counting, adding, colors, shapes, pets, active words, transportation, and anatomy.
