The ability to read, write and be literate is something that your children will naturally develop through their childhood. Each and every child will learn in their own unique ways and some will develop faster than others. However, for many children this can be a difficult process.
There are many reasons why children struggle to read and write, one study suggested that as many as 20% of all children have dyslexia however are not diagnosed, others just need a specific approach to make it easier for them to improve their reading and writing skills. This would avoid child struggle and classifications like 'bad in class' or 'not intelligent' when in reality, they just need to learn in their own way.
At SpeechAim, we work hard to provide unique techniques to help literacy, reading and writing for children. We find creative ways to help them find the best way to improve their skills and be their best selves in school and surrounding environments.
We have the specialized knowledge to help identify any communication problems, and then provide the proper support that children need to build upon these skills. We want to help your child strengthen the skills that they need to carry them through life.
While symptoms are different for every single child, it's important to understand the potential symptoms that your child may display early in their academic life:
While each child is unique in their own way, it is common for them to show at least one of the listed symptoms if they are struggling with their reading and writing. If they are displaying multiple, for a long period of time, it may be time to book an assessment session to find out what the cause is.
