Whole Child Reading: A Quick-Start Guide to Teaching Learners with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Other Developmental Delays

By Natalie Hale

This updated, expanded edition of the popular how-to book is often called a "game changer" by educators and parents alike. Teaching reading to learners with developmental delays including Down syndrome and autism can be challenging, but the Whole Child Reading Method opens the door to quick success and confidence. Learners read for meaning, with comprehension following naturally. The core premise is that "We go in through the heart and teach to the brain." In other words, we start with high interest materials and couple that with highly effective, proven teaching strategies based on right hemisphere learning techniques. The end result is transformative. Learning can begin at any age with this method, and if you have at least five minutes twice a day to teach reading, you can start the journey to literacy with Whole Child Reading today!
