Dance with Daisy: Promote Your Child's Speech & Language Development
Most caregivers want to help their child talk more, but the advice they find online is often too clinical to use during a busy afternoon. Melanie Potock, MA, CCC-SLP, wrote Dance with Daisy to close that gap, folding 10 strategies grounded in speech-language research into a story that holds a child's attention while quietly teaching the adult reading aloud what to do next.
Each strategy is designed to slot into routines families already have, snack time, bath time, getting dressed, rather than asking parents to carve out separate "therapy time." SLPs working in early intervention frequently send this book home as a follow-up to sessions, since it reinforces language development goals between visits. It's part of a small series from TalkTools® alongside A Day with Daisy and the Spanish-language edition, Un día con Daisy, both available in our Books & Resources collection.
- Ten strategies backed by speech-language research, woven naturally into everyday routines.
- A story format engaging enough that children ask to read it again, which means more repetition of the embedded strategies.
- Gives caregivers a concrete role in language development rather than leaving it solely to therapy sessions.
- Strategies that grow with the child, useful from infancy through the preschool years.
- Short enough to read in one sitting, making it realistic for tired parents at the end of the day.
- Parents and caregivers who want practical, evidence-based strategies they can start using tonight.
- SLPs looking for a parent education resource to extend language stimulation into the home.
- Early intervention specialists working directly with families.
- Preschool educators introducing language-rich routines into the classroom day.
- 1 x Dance with Daisy book (hardcover or paperback children's book with parent guide)
