Take a leap from where Seuss left off! Time and again, reports show that reading to kids fosters early learning, especially where language and literacy are concerned. But what if reading to your child was combined with something even more powerful than the popular rhyming and effective books a la Seuss - filled with cutting-edge language development research TOOLS? I Can Do That, the second in the I Can series by Dr. Suzy Leder, continues in the same vein as her award winning I Can Say That to take learning to talk and read to an entirely new level. The I Can books are designed to help children learn early gestures and baby signs, first words, two-word combinations, pretend play and ready to read skills like rhyme and print awareness. Written by a professor of speech language pathology with over 25 years in the field, I Can Do That targets early vocabulary words carefully selected from research on thousands of children learning language. Using language and literacy teaching strategies such as multiple repetitions by the reader, multiple opportunities by the child to produce the words or sign them, large print in bubbles, positive reinforcement, and dialogue format, the stories encourage an engaging read with versus read to me experience between parents and children. The hard cover storybooks in the I Can series are for ages one to six with two stories each and an interactive bilingual (Spanish and English) CD-ROM for PC.

I Can Say That storybook with bilingual (Spanish) interactive CD-ROM was written to help parents read successfully to children while entertaining them. I Can Say That is designed to help children develop early vocabulary words. Each of the two stories targets vocabulary words/animal sounds carefully selected from research. Reading I Can Say That does even more! According to a National Commission on Reading report, shared book reading is the best activity to prepare children for literacy success. The accompanying bilingual CD-ROM has the words highlighted as they are read to facilitate early reading.

I Can Play That is the third book in the I Can series by award winning professor of speech-language pathology, Dr. Suzy Lederer. The 4 short stories in this book use pretend play and music (CD-ROM in both Spanish and English included with book) to enhance the language and creative thinking skills of children ages 2-6. Feeding a teddy a cup of tea soon becomes a sequenced tea party, and finally blossoms into an elaborate, imaginative feast. Reading I Can Play That does more than enhance language skills and creative thinking. According to the National Commission on Reading report, shared book reading is the best activity to prepare children for literacy success. By reading and playing along with the children you love, parents, grandparents and professioinals are supporting early language, literacy, and pretend play development. Read the story during play time and pretend along with your child and his/her teddy as he/she has a tea party or play the goodnight game. Or, pop the CD-ROM into the PC and let your child listen to the music and read along to the highlighted words as the story is sung and played. Another great time to read the book is at bedtime. The pretend stories go through the sequence of getting ready for bed; i.e. putting on pajamas, washing the face, brushing the teeth and then getting into bed. The children love the delightful pictures of the boy washing Teddy's face and brushing (smearing toothpaste) Teddy's teeth. This activity is a great help to the parents in building the child's bedtime routine. Dr. Suzy Lederer writes the book based on research and her experience of teaching speech-language pathologists the most effective methods for enhancing the language skills of young children.
