From the Inside Flap:

The day a child says his first word, whether "on time" or "late," is a day for celebration! I Can Say That is designed to help children reach this milestone and add new words to their early vocabularies. Written by a professor of speech-language pathology with 25 years of professional experience, each of the two I Can Say That stories targets vocabulary words/animal sounds carefully selected from research on thousands of children learning language. To encourage production of these target words, this book uses proven language-learning techniques including multiple repetitions of each word by the reader, multiple opportunities for children to produce each word, sign language, and positive reinforcement.And 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. Reseearch adds the importance of exposing children to rhyme and highlighted words in print, both of which are featured in I Can Say That. So, by reading I Can Say That with children you love, parents and professionals are supporting both early language and literacy development. Continue reading I Can Say That during the preschool years and watch how it becomes an easy first reader! For even more first words fun, I Can Say That comes with an interactive CD-ROM version of the stories and downloadable pictures.
