Taking a Leap from Where Seuss Left Off

Two children's books (one award-winning and the other hot off the press) combine research-proven speech-language teaching techniques, and interactive bilingual CD-ROM for kids to "grow on" from early talking to reading readiness.

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 popular rhyming books à la Seuss - filled with cutting-edge language development research TOOLS?

The award-winning children's book, I Can Say That and its follow-up Companion I Can Do That (recently available), take learning to talk and read to an entirely new level. The 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 Dr. Suzy Lederer, a speech language pathologist with over 25 years in the field, I Can Say That and I Can Do That target vocabulary words and animal sounds 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 me" versus "read to me" experience between parents and children.

The hardcover storybooks are for ages one to six with two stories each and an interactive CD-ROM for PC. The CD-ROM is an English/Spanish format.
