Reading is an excellent tool in helping kids with apraxia of speech find their voice. Kids love reading books that are colorful, predictable, and highly repetitive. For kids with apraxia of speech, this repetition is crucial. Repetitive books help kids with apraxia of speech grasp the content of the story much more easily. When kids have less to think about, they can have fun and relax in the story. It also allows the child to repeat the language over and over again, getting comfortable with the words and sentences and looking forward to filling in the blanks with new words that really capture their attention. Kids LOVE reading the same books over and over again and that is a really good thing for children with Apraxia of Speech.

When reading these highly repetitive and predictable books with your child, keep in mind that a child with Apraxia of Speech will need just a little extra time to fill in those repetitive and highly predictable phrases. Remember, it is hard for them and it’s so important to stay patient and keep it fun!
