We discuss a possibility to construct high order methods on uniform or mildly graded grids for the numerical solution of linear Volterra integro-differential equations with weakly singular or other nonsmooth kernels. Using an integral equation reformulation of the initial value problem, we apply to it a smoothing transformation so that the exact solution of the resulting equation does not contain any singularities in its derivatives up to a certain order. After that the regularized equation is solved by a piecewise polynomial collocation method on a mildly graded or uniform grid. In particular, a numerical method based on the Haar wavelets can be constructed.
