Résumé
La lecture partagée présente un intérêt bien établi pour le développement des enfants au développement typique. En raison de leur profil, elle pourrait aussi présenter un intérêt marqué pour les enfants avec une trisomie 21 et constituer un levier précieux pour stimuler le langage, le développement cognitif et préparer l’émergence de la littératie. Pourtant, il existe peu de données concernant les pratiques dans les familles concernées. Nous avons donc créé un questionnaire destiné aux parents d’enfants français avec une trisomie 21, dans le but de recueillir des informations sur leurs pratiques de lecture partagée. Trois résultats émergent : 1) les parents soulignent les bénéfices multiples de la lecture partagée pour leur enfant - sur les plans cognitif, langagier et relationnel; 2) les parents d’enfants plus âgés mobilisent davantage de stratégies liées à la littératie émergente; et 3) les parents expriment un besoin d’accompagnement adapté aux besoins de leurs enfants.

Abstract
Shared reading has well-established benefits for the development of typically developing children. Given their developmental profile, it may also be particularly valuable for children with Down syndrome, serving as a key lever to support language, cognitive development, and the emergence of early literacy skills. However, little data is available regarding shared reading practices within families concerned. We therefore created a questionnaire for parents of French children with Down syndrome, with the aim of gathering information about their shared reading practices. Three main findings emerge: 1) parents highlight the multiple benefits of shared reading for their child (cognitive, linguistic, and relational); 2) parents of older children make greater use of strategies related to emergent literacy; and 3) parents express a need for guidance that is better tailored to their children’s specific needs.
