To start using the book:
1. Introduce the Book
Show your child the book and explain that they can use it to communicate. Go through the pictures together, saying each word aloud to help them understand.
2. Encourage Pointing
Ask simple questions like "What do you want?" or "How do you feel?" and guide the child to point to the correct image. Praise them for using the book!
3. Reinforce and Expand
Respond to their choices by saying the words aloud ("Oh, you want water!") and fulfilling their request. Over time, encourage combining pictures to express more complex thoughts.
With practice, your child will gain confidence in using the book to express themselves!
