The reading method and lessons presented here are specifically designed to be motivating, fun, and rewarding.

Format:Paperback
I know a young lady with Down Syndrome who was taught how to read using this system. She is now an adult and reads the newspaper every day. Especially the baseball box scores! I know this works. I can't wait to see how my son does with it. He is 5 1/2 and just started Kindergarten. He has DS and when I showed the book to his teacher she immediately knew she had to have it. Thank you Pat Oelwein!

Format:Paperback
This book clearly explains the way children learn to read, from pre-reading to fluency. The side issue of learning how to write is also addressed. Note to parents: your child's teacher has probably never seen this book. Do the teacher and your child a favor by passing one on to them.
