Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Whether your child is an infant practicing communicatin through gestures such as waving bye-bye or blowing a kiss, a toddler speaking his first words or combining two words together, a preschooler getting ready to learn to read, an early reader, or a child with language delays working on these skills, I Can Do That is specifically designed to support your child's learning. Written by a professor of speech-language pathology with over 25 years of professional experience, each of the two I Can Do That stories encourages imitation of natural gestures or signs, first words, and word combinations carefully selected from child development research. To foster success, I Can Do That uses proven language-learning techniques including multiple repetitions of each word by the reader, multiple opportunities for children to practice language skills, and positive reinforcement.And reading I Can Do 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. Research emphasizes the importance of exposing children to rhyme and highlighted words in print, both featured in I Can Do That. So, by reading I Can Do That with children, parents and professionals are supporting both early language and literacy development. For even more learning fun, I Can Do That comes with an interactive CD-rom version of the stories (in English and Spanish) and downloadable pictures to make your own books!
