Some words are BIG. Some words are TRICKY. And some words make little tongues twist and tumble! In Big Words for Little Tongues, speech-language expert Iris Hambling brings years of clinical experience into a joyful, playful picture book designed especially for preschool children. Carefully tested with young learners and arranged in order of difficulty, each "tricky word" helps children strengthen listening skills, improve pronunciation, and build confidence step by step. From crocodile and umbrella to hippopotamus, chrysanthemum, and even particularly precious message, children are encouraged to slow down, listen carefully, and master each syllable with pride. Perfect for: Preschoolers developing clear speech Parents wanting fun pronunciation practice at home Teachers and speech-language therapists supporting early language skills Frequent, playful reading reinforces articulation, vocabulary, and coordination - all while keeping learning lighthearted and fun!
