I Can Play That (English and Spanish Edition CD-ROM) Mom's Choice Awards Recipient - Gold

By Suzy Lederer

Book Overview

It has often been said that play is the work of children. One of the most important forms of play is pretend play because it helps children develop language and creative thinking skills. Feeding a teddy a cup of tea soon becomes a sequenced tea party, and finally blossoms into an elaborate, imaginative feast. Whether a child is developing play and language typically or is experiencing delays, I Can Play That is specifically designed to support a child?s development. Written by a professor of speech-language pathology with 30 years of professional experience, each of the two I Can Play That stories provides multiple opportunities for a child to practice pretending and communicating using the special time words (first, next, and then, last) pretend play sequences require. And reading I Can Play 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. By reading and playing along with the children you love, parents and professionals are supporting early language, literacy, and pretend play development. For even more learning fun, I Can Play That comes with a CD-ROM which includes sing-along versions of the stories in English and Spanish and downloadable pictures.
