Teaching Reading? WORK YOURSELF OUT OF A JOB

As parents of kids/teens/adults with Down syndrome, there are many areas in which we continue to give support through the years, because it’s needed.

But Guess What?

If you launch your child as an independent reader, you’re out of a job. Permanently. You will never, ever have to teach your child to read again. Isn’t that a glorious thought?

If you don’t believe me, ask other parents who have done the same thing. Once the job is done, we’re toast as reading teachers. History. Not needed. Waved aside with the brush of our kids’ confidence and success.

And that, my friends, is why we commit to a near-daily teaching of reading to our kids. It’s short-term employment with lifelong benefits. What a great deal! It doesn’t get any better than that.

“And furthermore…”

I’ll get down from the box now, but if you need further proof, read You Have Only Two Choices. Or any of the other blogs I’ve written on teaching our kids/teens to read. Just use the search box in the right column to look for info.

Pardon me now as I resume reading under my beach umbrella on the white sands (okay, sorta white) of Southern California.

Pass me that lemonade, would you?

P.S. In my next blog, I’ll be asking for your reading questions…so you have a week to think of some!
