Customer Rating: 

This book contains a wealth of information to help our kids. My son with DS learned how to read with it. Very practical, easy to use, and fun. It even has directions for a treasure hunt to teach your child household words. I highly recommend it.

I wrote a previous review in 2000 and thought it was high time for an updated review.
In 2000 I had taught 5 children with Down syndrome to read using the principles from this book.
I can now happily say that that number has increased to well over 200 children and teens!
This is an amazing book which gives one the blueprint to teach their learner with Down syndrome to read.
Whether I am giving a presentation to a large group or working one on one with a family, the first thing I do is recommend this book.
Teaching Reading to Children with Down Syndrome is full of useful and practical well researched information that is easy to follow.
I also would like to recommend the author's other book Literacy Skill Development for Students With Special Learning Needs A Strengths-Based Approach
by Leslie Broun and Patricia Oelwein
Both books are a MUST for all parents and teachers of children with different learning styles.

Customer Rating: 

Excellent resource for parents and teachers. Written for parents, but addresses the school setting as well including suggestions for IEP goals/objectives. Methods are presented in easy to read and understand language. The other titles in this series are also excellent. I am currently reading the 1st book on teaching math to students with Downs Syndrome, and it is excellent as well. Will be a part of my professional library as a teacher of students with mild intellectual disabilities.

Another great book I have used in my SDC classroom with low cognitive functioning special needs children. I would recommend it highly.

I have used this book quite a bit with my 9 year old daughter with DS, since she was about 5. It is very well written and encouraging, full of information. I have given it to all my daughter's teachers as there are activities that can be done in a classroom.
