Preview versions of all of the resources for two more steps in the See and Learn Language and Reading programme – are now available for free download. One of these steps helps children learn to read written words and phrases, the other helps increase their vocabulary by another 55 words.
Step 2 - See and Learn First Written Words teaches children to read 16 written words, and understand combinations of two 'key' words in written phrases.
Step 3 - See and Learn More Word Pictures uses pictures to introduce a further 55 words that are common in children's early vocabularies.
These steps build on the words children can learn using Step 1 - See and Learn Word Pictures.
The online resources available for preview include guidance materials for this step, full instructions for the activities, picture cards, baseboards and record sheets.
We would welcome users' feeback on the preview versions of these resources.
Language learning - step by step
The See and Learn Language and Reading programme provides step-by-step guidance through graded activities that are designed to help children with Down syndrome develop their spoken language and reading skills.
By completing these first 3 steps in the See and Learn Language and Reading programme children with Down syndrome can learn to recognise and say or sign a vocabulary of more than 100 words, and start learning to read written words and phrases.
The free resources are not downloading - we are getting page not available messages?

Same problem here - I have tried a number of times to access the resources without success. Could this be because I am not in the UK?
