Talkie Tot4.0 - App Store

Help your toddler find their voice! Developed by certified speech-language pathologist Barbara Fernandes, Talkie Tot is the premier tool for children aged 0-5 to bridge the gap between single words and functional two-word combinations.

A Step-by-Step Path to Communication

Talkie Tot grows with your child through a comprehensive curriculum of 90 target phrases. Our evidence-based framework moves toddlers through three progressive levels:

Level 1: Core Phrases: Master 30 essential social and safety phrases like "Help me," "Stop it," and "Love you".

Level 2: Talkie More: Expand expressions by combining verbs and nouns to communicate specific desires.

Level 3: Action Phrases: Master descriptive language using noun and adjective combinations, such as identifying a "Blue cap".

The Power of Peer Modeling

Research shows children are most motivated by their peers. Talkie Tot exclusively uses natural child voices for all audio models, making it easier and more exciting for your toddler to imitate and learn.
