Available for all children in Ontario and Alberta.
Can a Speech Therapist Help with My Child’s Literacy?
Is your child struggling to read?
Children that struggle with reading tend to feel shy when asked to read aloud, but sometimes the issues don’t stop there.
As a parent, you may also notice more troubling signs when your child…
can’t recognize letters on a page
leaves out some words when they build sentences
struggles to identify and make rhymes
has a hard time blending sounds together or breaking them up, or
asks to repeat information frequently
These concerns are part of the bigger picture: Literacy.
A literacy-based approach with Apheleia Online Speech Therapy can help your child pick up the essential skills they will use in the classroom and for their lifetime.
Literacy-Based Therapy: More than Just Reading and Writing
Building a strong literacy foundation will your help child’s learning abilities for all subjects, even before they step into the classroom.
A complete approach in literacy covers more skills than reading and writing. It includes crucial speech and language skills that help them:
understand more from every class lesson and activity
be more interested in reading for school and for leisure
improve school performance and motivation to learn
have more confidence when speaking in class and with peers
Literacy is a fundamental life skill starting from your child’s early years until adulthood. Speech therapy can help build these skills more effectively.
You can find out more when you book a consultation with our speech-language pathologists.
Imagine trying to solve a math problem without understanding what you read…
How Speech Therapy for Literacy Works
Therapy starts with our SLP’s initial assessment that identifies your child’s specific gaps in language and literacy. This assessment will also determines if they are showing signs of speech and language disorders (such as dyslexia).
After the assessment, your speech-language pathologist (SLP) will help by:
providing the next steps to prevent further literacy challenges
giving practical exercises and activities for improvement
teaching parents and caregivers on how to help them at home
tracking your child’s progress and adjusting to more appropriate activities
The sooner we start together, the sooner you’ll see them excited to read, eager to write and feel confident when attending school.
