Maria's first reading lesson

Last month I attended a workshop on teaching children with Down syndrome how to read. It was fabulous.  The presenter was Terry Brown and she has created a curriculum based on her work. Her website is www.sohappytolearn.com.  I have been reading the manual and gathering materials and trying to balance life. But today was the day we started. I want to document Maria’s progress so we can see how far she advances and celebrate her accomplishments.  Enjoy!
