Overview

Children with Down syndrome are strong visual learners, and many learn to read earlier than their peers. While they are verbal, speech clarity is often their greatest challenge. Reading provides a natural and powerful way to improve speech clarity by supporting longer phrases and repeated practice. These books use simple, meaningful phrases designed to match their visual learning strengths and encourage spoken language. Although these strengths are often overlooked, both reading and clear speech are highly achievable for children with Down syndrome. The I Can series uses a simple, repetitive format to reinforce what children can do-using nothing more than a book.
