Up for Reading helps
children with Down syndrome

Children with Down syndrome sometimes need additional help to learn. Reading is often something that young people with Down syndrome can be good at.

Up for Reading raises money for Down Syndrome Education International - a leading charity that works to improve education for young people with Down syndrome around the world. Up for Reading USA raises money for the new nonprofit Down Syndrome Education USA. Local Down syndrome support organisations can also benefit.
