Show Notes

Symbolic sounds are the sounds that represent specific words or ideas, such as "meow" for a cat or "choo-choo" for a train. These sounds can be very helpful for young children who are still developing their language skills, as they can provide a way for children to communicate even if they don't have the words to express themselves. Today's show dives into different types of symbolic sounds, and ways to use them to encourage language development. Don't forget to grab your free list of symbolic sounds (linked below)!
