Teach your child with Down syndrome to read with eReadingPro.
Individuals with Down syndrome CAN become amazing readers! By teaching your child to read at a young age you will not only teach reading - you may even enhance speech! Not all children with Down syndrome will be able to commence reading at 6 months of age. However, it is important to understand that when you start 'early' you will not only benefit their reading skills, but also their speech and general communication skills. Whatever age your child begins to read, even if it is during their teen years, just know that it will allow a whole new world to open up to them!

A Special Thank You to Treasure Coast Early Steps Program of Port St Lucie, FL for sharing their resource list with us.
