A Lesson Plan for The Buggy That Boogied Away

Susan Lederer, Ph. D., CCC/SLP is a licensed certified speech-language pathologist with more than 25 years of experience in speech, language, and emergent literacy development and disorders. She is an Associate Professor and Chair in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders at Adelphi University, Garden City. Long Island, NY. She and her colleagues have conducted and researched programs for late-talking toddlers and preschoolers at risk of reading failure. She has received national recognition in her field and she is the lead author of the 2005 curriculum PreRead: An Integrated Emergent Literacy Program. Along with her impressive credentials, she has written a book which is on just the right level to help children develop early language and literacy skills.

Early Language and Literacy Skills for Ages 1-5.

The lower age is for early vocabulary - language development.
The upper age is for beginning reading and rhyming.

The first step in using this book is to read the helpful letter to parents from the author. The interactive book is for all children including those with language delays. Dr. Lederer carefully selected sounds based on research of thousands of children learning language.The book and CD use proven language learning techniques. Shared reading of books like this is a precursor to reading success. This book increases awareness of sounds which is critical for later reading skills such as phonics.

For even more first words fun, the book comes with an interactive CD-rom version of the stories and downloadable pictures.

Speech-language pathologists have long been searching for books and aids that use oral and sign language for therapy for the young child who is developmentally delayed. The delightful illustratons and clear dialogue in this book are a perfect combination for all children. What a marvelous tool to add to my speech therapy practice!

Dr. Suzy Lederer has provided us with another book we can use over and over. For non-verbal children all the way to emergent readers, I recommend I can Say That as a useful and delightful tool for teaching.

Thanks to Dr. Suzy, my daughter and I really enjoyed reading I Can Say That together. It was an interactive and fun way for my 2-year-old to practice her sounds and vocabulary. She did not want to put it away!
