Mavericks Reading Program

sponsored by The Big Hearted Mavericks

Program Description

PREP’s Reading Program is designed specifically for students in grades K-12 with Down syndrome. Our highly skilled reading team modifies each lesson based on the interests and abilities of each student. Goals are coordinated with families and, when applicable, teaching teams through the child’s school. Each session is 45-minutes in length with 15 minutes afterwards to debrief with parents or other caregivers on strategies and goals. Weekly and bi-weekly options are available. 

New! Reading Sessions for Adults with Down Syndrome

PREP is excited to expand our Mavericks Reading Program to include adults with Down syndrome! Literacy is a lifelong skill, and our tailored sessions help adults continue developing their reading, comprehension, and communication abilities in a supportive and engaging environment. Whether building confidence in everyday reading or working on personal literacy goals, we’re here to help!
