Listen. Imitate. Try. Express. (LITE)
We created these books for children aged 3 to 6 to strengthen and support their early communication skills. Each book supports speech and language development by focusing on key sounds and modeling them through rhythm, repetition, and playful dialogue.
The series follows a natural learning path. Children begin by listening. They copy what they hear. They start to speak. Then, they learn to express their ideas, feelings, and stories.
LITE Steps gives families and educators a joyful way to support this process. The stories are designed for read-aloud moments, shared attention, and meaningful interaction. Every step builds confidence and connection at home, in the classroom, and in therapy.
LITE Steps offers playful stories that support speech
and language development, one step at a time.
Who it’s for

Why It Works
Children learn best through rhythm, repetition, and play.
