Shared Book Reading (SBR), an evidence\u2010based approach, supports language and pre\u2010literacy skills through interactive reading. For children with DS, selecting suitable books is vital due to their unique intellectual and linguistic profiles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examined books used by educators during SBR with young children with DS and factors influencing selection. Using a mixed\u2010methods design, data from 13 educators at a Malaysian early intervention centre were gathered through a survey and an open\u2010ended question.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results showed a strong preference for picture storybooks, followed by sensory and wordless books among educators.
