Noisy Stories presents sounds in isolation and in combination in a developmentally appropriate manner. As each story is read, children respond verbally and with a sign, or with an AAC device. The stories are designed to help develop pre-reading skills and sound awareness and can be used in various settings: individual, small group, or circle time. The stories help build sound repertories for children who are nonverbal or who have low verbal abilities. Noisy Stories is based on the premise that children often learn best from other children.
