Difficulty Reading and/or Writing

Difficulty Identifying Letters and/or Sounds

Dyslexia

Literacy challenges are rooted in language, giving speech-language pathologists a unique perspective and ability to address literacy delays and disorders. We target literacy skills using a combination of approaches, to target functional and age-appropriate skills.

Literacy therapy will address areas such as:

• Phonological awareness- sound-to-letter correspondence

• Decoding- sounding out words

• Encoding- hearing a sound and being able to write the letter/s that represent that sound

• Reading comprehension

• Reading fluency- reading a text accurately, quickly, and with appropriate expression
