What Do We Do With These Things? - Lou Vang

. .

Résumé :
A simple book that teaches about different objects around the home and their functions!

Fisher & Friends Publishing Co. is a company dedicated to providing resources to stimulate speech and language development in children. Studies have shown that children who were read to were exposed to more words by the time they entered kindergarten and the language stimulation they received from books had a direct impact on their academic performance. Not only is the language stimulation that children receive from reading important for academic success. It is also vital for cognitive development.

Reading anything is beneficial but the difference with Fisher & Friends Publishing Co. is that our CEO and author, Lou Vang, is a speech-language pathologist (SLP). She has a unique knowledge of speech and language development so she has carefully crafted each book and material to target a specific speech or language skillset, whether teaching a specific function of speech, a certain speech sound, a particular grammatical marker or other skill. With our material, you won't just be stimulating overall language. You can choose the book and material that you need in order to address the specific aspect of language you are trying to remedy. In each book and with each resource, you are given a detailed list of skills that your item can be used to target or you are provided a list of therapeutic activities that you can do with each product.

We have also translated our content into Hmong so that we can extend the benefits of our products to our Hmong-speaking families and friends. Because our author, Lou, has a background in instructing Hmong literacy and is a firm believer in language and culture preservation, she has also created some special series dedicated to stimulating Hmong language and preserving Hmong folktales. Her hope is that by providing children's content in Hmong, it will encourage the next generation to keep the language alive. She also hopes that her Hmong folktale series will serve as a time capsule, keeping alive the tales and history of our elder generation.

With the many series within Fisher & Friends Publishing Co., each with its own purpose from teaching speech and language, to preserving the Hmong culture, we hope that there will be something for everyone.
