Books with title I Can Read

Vi* Can Read was developed after many years of working with children. It is based on rhyming, making a meaningful association, picture recognition and memory. Creating this simple connection allows children to recognize the picture, read the word and experience success. The more successful they are, the more engaged they become in the learning process.

Cat says, "I want to be a teacher some day because when I was young. I could not read. Not being able to read made me feel bad. I wish I could find a way to make the hurt go away. I call trying to make something good out of a tough situation, making stars from scars! Instead of giving up, I would find a way to work it out." In her debut Children's Book, destined to become a classic, Author Kathleen Randolph tells the story of CAT to inspire kids everywhere to learn to love reading.
