“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” Dr. Seuss
Reading fluently with good comprehension requires many skills to occur efficiently and simultaneously. Skilled readers need to have strong phonological awareness skills (the ability to identify, segment, delete and blend sounds in words) and good sight word knowledge (sight words are words that can’t be sounded out as they are irregular and must be learnt).
At Sinclair Speech Pathology your child’s literacy skills would be thoroughly assessed and then an individualised treatment program would be devised. The therapist would liaise closely with educators and relevant health professionals to help your child overcome their literacy difficulties.
