This video of K was taken in the fall. She was almost 3 1/2 years. We used a lot of word cards with pictures on the back to keep her attention as she is only very recently interested in reading word cards without pictures. At this point, she knew so many words that were nouns, that we had to look a little further to find words words to teach her that still had a picture. Thankfully, she will now happily read words just printed by hand on index cards or on the computer with the Little Reader program. With the number of cards we were going through each week, the cost of ink, card stock & laminating materials was going through the roof! We still do cards like this now, but just for fun.
I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
Wow, K is amazing! I wish I could read those names as well as her!
