Down Syndrome Reading with Natalie Hale

WHO'S ON FIRST, WHAT'S ON SECOND? HELP!
Comprehension is a bear, whether it's referential (the answer's somewhere in the text) or inferential (you have to think it through). So how can we help our learners get it?
Reading for meaning, reading HIGH INTEREST material, is the best start. But THEN what? Here's a great strategy...

HOW DO WE TEST READING WHEN LEARNERS ARE NONVERBAL? This is one of several methods I use when I'm testing a child's reading ability.

If the child is fluent in signing, she can sign the finished sentence, or as in this video, simply point to the work she's already accomplished.
