Letter Sounds & Strokes (LSS) is an instructional program used to teach explicit phonological awareness, phonics, language development, and print awareness in English, Spanish and American Sign Language. Teachers use LSS to develop listening skills, letter sound/symbol relationships, alphabetic knowledge, syllabication, blending, and pre-writing strokes for print awareness.

I Can Draw is an instructional program that helps children develop skills for printing and writing using art materials and activities that are fun and proven to be successful. Students in the program:

	form letters and numbers with Five Pre-Writing Strokes.
	connect spoken and written language with verbal chants associated with strokes.
	develop organizational skills for sequencing first, next, and last.
	follow directions, practice listening skills, and build alphabetic knowledge through Directed Drawings.

Daily multi-lingual instruction in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL) enhances knowledge and clarifies instruction.

Children learn dozens of ASL words and phrases and build vocabulary and oral language skills as children use their hands in active participation. Teachers also use ASL as a behavioral tool to signal and maintain attention, clarify expectations, and compliment children's efforts and achievements.

Daily lessons include embedded phonics and vocabulary instruction in Spanish alongside English. The We Can Sing in English and Spanish CD-ROM and poem posters teach children phonological and phonemic awareness using rhyming chants, poetry, and songs. The We Can Classroom Kit Spanish Supplement can be added to provide further Spanish instruction.

The Learning Zoo: Games and Activities technology provides practice opportunities that reinforce recognition of shapes, colors and color words, numerals and number words, counting skills, and letter sounds and names.

The We Can! Early Childhood Kit is complete with teacher's guides, student materials, manipulatives—everything instructors need to fully implement the program in their classrooms.
