Sharing a recent @salvesenresearch.bsky.social and Uni of Edinburgh Literacy Lab article on experiences of children with Down syndrome reading at home - with huge thanks to all the young people and parents who shared their experiences with us (we *loved* the book tours!)

Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre (SMRC)@salvesenresearch.bsky.social · 6mo ago

We are showcasing a recently published paper by @katiecebula.bsky.social and @profsarahmcg.bsky.social, which qualitatively explored home reading practices of mothers and their children with Down syndrome. Mothers shared experiences via semi-structured interviews, children via 'book tours'.

Graphic 1 out of 5. The title of the paper is "I love it ... I love that story": The perspectives of children with Down syndrome and their mothers on reading experiences at home. This paper was authored by Dr Katie Cebula and Professor Sarah McGeown. A multi-coloured graphic of books and polkadots decorates the centre bottom. The SMRC's logo is on the top left hand corner of each graphic. A graphic of a research paper is on the right hand corner of each graphic.
