My Friend Has Down Syndrome

In My Friend Has Down Syndrome, beginning readers are introduced to different characters who have Down syndrome, how Down syndrome may affect their actions, and how we can be good friends to people who have Down syndrome. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text engage young readers as they discover how to be empathetic and include all kinds of friends.

An activity encourages students to examine how everyone has different strengths, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about being a good friend online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. My Friend Has Down Syndrome also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index.

My Friend Has Down Syndrome is part of Jump!’s All Kinds of Friends series.
