Reading Books
We are now producing our own reading books. These books are designed to be used with typically developing children to help raise awareness, understanding, and a more positive image, of children who have Down Syndrome. They are ideal for use in mainstream primary schools. See here some examples of the pages to be found in Book 1 'Ready to Leap' and in Book 2 'At School'. Reading books are priced at £6.99 per copy or £6.00 each when you buy sets of 5. Please contact us for details.

We find Maths Extra and the Stern resources to be an extremely useful resource when it comes to Numeracy and children and young people who have DS www.mathsextra.com
