Educational materialFirst 100 Words | A Guide to Developing Speech and Language
A Practical Foundation for Early Language Development
by Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc
Help young children build their first 100 words through structured, playful, and sound-based learning. First 100 Words | A Guide to Developing Speech and Language by Alice Kassotaki, MSc, BSc, is an expertly designed resource that supports the earliest stages of speech and language acquisition. Featuring a core vocabulary of 100 essential words grouped into 14 meaningful categories, this book provides a structured framework for helping children recognize, store, and reproduce speech sounds while gradually moving toward expressive language use. The first part of the book emphasizes sound awareness—guiding children to become familiar with phonetic elements, store them in memory, distinguish between them, and begin producing them. The second part moves into phrase-level language activities, encouraging progression through listening, imitation, supported production, and finally, spontaneous speech. At this developmental stage, the goal is not articulation perfection, but consistent use and understanding of words within context. Designed for early interventionists, speech-language therapists, and educators, this guide is a powerful tool for building a strong linguistic foundation in toddlers and preschoolers. Its clear structure and engaging approach make it an excellent candidate for international publishers seeking evidence-based, practical resources for early childhood language development. Translation rights available.
