There's a general assumption that a child will develop and learn to read when taught and given the opportunity. That's the expectation, but not always the case. Some children need additional help, and some develop speech and language disorders that interfere with reading skills. Given the role of reading in understanding the world around us, communicating with others, and learning, it's understandable to be concerned if you notice delays in your child's reading abilities. Delays can have life-long consequences.


Literacy programs with a children's speech and language therapist effectively help your child enhance reading skills in phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and dyslexia. We utilize fun and practical strategies to address speech, language, and reading difficulties equipping your child with the skills essential for learning, developing independence, and confident social interactions.

Reading and Speech Therapy

Speech and language difficulties can stand in the way of reading and learning.

Reading and writing help your child learn new things and communicate thoughts. However, a wide range of language disorders interferes with these processes. The two main categories of language disorders are expressive language disorder and receptive language disorder. Both may be present in an individual child.


Research confirms that language impairment in children adversely affects their reading and writing skills. Language deficits are associated with reading challenges, and signs are often present as early as preschool years. They serve as early indicators of the risk for reading difficulties and can be addressed through timely speech-language intervention.

Difficulty reading can lead to frustrations for children and parents.

Dealing with language difficulties can be frustrating for children. They are sometimes subject to bullying and experience low self-esteem because of mean or hurtful things said by their peers. Additionally, schools typically do not have the resources or a literacy specialist to meet their needs. Your child may fall behind academically, which may further impact their desire for learning. It's not unusual for parents to feel guilty or frustrated. But it's important to remember that trouble understanding often relates to factors that interfere with brain development and are beyond a parent's control.

The first step is recognizing help is needed.

Language disorders appear as challenges with phonics, vocabulary, perception, and comprehension and often affect reading and overall learning. You may have noticed signs of expressive or receptive language barriers in your child but did not realize the connection to speech and reading fluency. A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) can evaluate and diagnose these indicators and recommend reading and speech therapy.

We can help.

Reading difficulties can persist throughout life, but improvement is possible with proper support from a speech and language therapist or reading specialist. Literacy programs are designed to improve pre-literacy, literacy, reading, and communication skills. We address issues with pronunciation, dyslexia, comprehension and, perform assessments for reading errors and determine if difficulty with speech production (apraxia) is an underlying cause.
