The Speech Sound Series
Do goats belong in gardens? Gary thinks so! Gary is a Goat who loves to garden but his Garden is not going great. Gary finds ways to push through stereotypes to follow his passion all whilst helping children focus on their ‘G’ Sound. Gary the Goat is a fun story beautifully illustrated to take 2-5 year old’s on a speech sound journey.
The development of speech sounds is an important part of learning the ‘form’ of oral language. As children gain speaking skills, they use speech sounds and words more intently to express their needs. Children start to produce speech sounds at different ages, however typically developing children follow a similar sequence when developing consonant sounds (Shriberg, 1993, Berk 2013).
Nurturing and responsive learning environments are important for the development of strong speech and language skills (Harrison& McCloud, 2010). This includes frequent opportunities for children to share attention with adults, interact and hear language for a variety of different purposes. Reading with your child is the perfect learning environment.
The Speech Sounds Series books each have a specific sound focus, the alliteration and repetition make them a fun yet educational read for you and your little one. Your child will enjoy this story of a determined sloth following his dream. A fun story beautifully illustrated to take 2-5 year olds on a ‘S’ sound journey.

Gary the Goat is a super cute character. He is trying to keep his garden beautiful but nothing works! Great book to practice reading for beginners.

I loved the illustrations of the little goat and his garden. I liked the fact that the story reinforces the /g/ sounds from page to page to help the phonological processing of that sound. I would use this book in my speech therapy sessions to interact with my younger students.

A really simple, but cute book that helps children to learn the sound of the letter G. The story is funny, and the repetition is a great addition for allowing young children the opportunity to join in. The illustrations are lovely. A lovely book for very young children/early readers.

This children’s book is one that made me smile on a bad mental health day. What drew me to purchasing this book was the character on the cover. It reminded me so much of a character in Animal Crossing, and after meeting Gary the Goat in this story he is definitely a villager I’d love to have on my island.
