Free Parent Resources

You’re already your child’s best teacher – you just might not realise it yet.

Every mealtime, every bedtime story, every car journey is a chance to encourage speech. You don’t need special training or extra hours in your day. You just need simple techniques that fit into what you’re already doing.

That’s what our parent resources provide. They’re completely free, they don’t require a subscription, and they’re available right now in the Learn to Talk app.

A structured, week-by-week guide that walks you through every stage of your child’s speech development. All 30 lessons are available instantly in the app – read at your own pace, jump to what you need, or follow along week by week.

Each lesson includes:

• One targeted technique – clear, practical strategies you can use straight away
• One tip for today – designed for real families with real time constraints
• One playful activity – minimal preparation, maximum impact
• Troubleshooting – because sometimes the usual approaches need adjusting
• Encouragement – keeping you motivated when progress feels slow

The course builds progressively over 30 weeks, creating a toolkit of techniques that complement each other. By the end, you’ll know how to respond to babbling, which words to focus on, and how to turn everyday moments into natural speech opportunities.

Perfect for: Parents waiting for First Words. Families supporting late talkers. Anyone wanting to create a language-rich environment without adding stress to busy days.
