Description
Reading and writing skills are important for everyday life and for access to the world of literature. They are also powerful tools for teaching speech and language to children with Down syndrome and for mediating their cognitive development. Reading and writing can support communication, enable children to achieve greater independence and enrich education and academic attainments across the curriculum. This module explains how language and literacy teaching can work together to promote the development of children with Down syndrome. Guidance on teaching methods, expectations and examples of children's work combine to show teachers and parents how to include children in literacy learning programmes, with an understanding of particular issues related to speech, language and memory development. - from Amzon
