Overview and Purpose

This course is aimed at staff, professionals and parents whose children are pre-readers or early stages of learning to read. This whole day course will include an emphasis on teaching your child to read and will enable you to teach and support pupils with Down syndrome more effectively. It will cover the key elements of the specific learning profile, how you can best support progress, dispel some myths and give you strategies and resource ideas, based on research and good practice, to ensure you can meet their individual learning needs. We will also consider the role of the support assistant and what effective inclusion looks like.
