Looking for books with repetitive phrases? Here are 50 Repetitive Books for Children with Apraxia of Speech.

One of the things I remember most about getting our diagnosis of Childhood Apraxia of Speech was the feeling of helplessness.

For us, it’s reading books. When we read books together, he not only looks at the books while I read it, sometimes he also watches my mouth as I read the words. Then, he imitates what I modeled for him.

And it wasn’t something I had to force. He just started doing that.

While there are some great children’s books out there, the ones that we’ve found to be most helpful in his language development are books that have repetitive words and phrases. These have become favorites for all the kids, and it’s a great way to practice sounds without being forceful with learning.
