By the time we found this program K had just turned 3 & reading quite a few words, so it didn't last us long - this happened with most of the premade programs that we used, but I think programs like this would last a lot longer for a child that was just beginning to learn to read. I do however, usually end up recommending Little Reader, just because it has so much more content & is so easy to customize almost everything. <br /><br />I actually blogged about the Learning program here:<br /><br />http://downsyndromeupupupandaway.blogspot.com/2011/03/this-is-another-great-program-that-is.html<br /><br /> I also blogged about a number of other programs on this page:<br /><br />http://downsyndromeupupupandaway.blogspot.com/search/label/reading%20programsLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770519849147434962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378948947098078935.post-37337479476791522842012-03-11T14:40:23.953-07:002012-03-11T14:40:23.953-07:00I highly recommend the Down Syndrome Foundation of...I highly recommend the Down Syndrome Foundation of Orange County's website (DSFOC.org) - their Learning Program is available via free downloads on their site, or pre-laminated workbooks for a fee. It was developed specifically for children with Down syndrome, and follows the guidelines set by Patricia Olwein's Teaching Reading to Children with Down Syndrome (from Woodbine House).Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.com
