About this app

Stuck waiting on a speech evaluation? You can start tonight.

First Words Daily is a calm, 10-minute-a-day speech practice plan for toddlers, built to be done together with your child. Every episode models a word slowly, then pauses and waits for your child to try. That pause is the whole method, and it is the one thing fast-cut cartoons never do.

WHAT YOU GET EVERY DAY
The Daily 10 gives you one short video, the words to tap as you hear them, and one off-screen game to play at snack time or bath time. No deciding, no scrolling, no guessing what to do next.

FOUR PRACTICE STAGES
A two-minute check-in points you to the right starting place.
First Words (12 to 24 months): sounds, imitation, and the first 50 words.
Word Builders (2 to 3 years): putting two words together.
Storytellers (3 to 5 years): sentences and clearer sounds.
Late Talker Track: smaller steps, a gentler pace, and extra celebration.

WATCH THEIR WORDS ADD UP
Tap each new word your child says. The Word Tracker keeps every one with the date you first heard it and draws a growth chart, which is exactly what a speech therapist wants to see at a first appointment.

BUILT DIFFERENTLY ON PURPOSE
Nothing plays next. When an episode ends, the screen goes quiet instead of pulling your child into another video.
No ads. Not one, anywhere in the app.
Works with no signal. Every episode is stored in the app, so it works in the car, on a plane, and in a waiting room.
Printable flashcards: 7 sets, 63 cards, print them or save them as a PDF.

YOUR CHILD'S PRIVACY
We collect a parent email address only if you give one. Nothing about your child ever leaves your phone: no name, no voice, no photo, no word list. There are no ads and no third-party trackers.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT THIS IS
First Words Daily is practice and enrichment. It is not speech therapy, diagnosis, or medical advice. Many families use it while they wait for an evaluation or alongside professional care. If you are concerned about your child's speech, please talk to your pediatrician or a licensed speech-language pathologist. Early help works, and asking early is never overreacting.
