Preschoolers may have difficulty with early-literacy skills including letter knowledge, narrative skills and phonological awareness skills (knowing and manipulating sounds in words). These skills are important for children to develop reading and writing skills throughout critical years of development. Early intervention is crucial for children whose literacy skills are lower than expected for their age. 

Reading and writing difficulties can affect a school-age child’s academic achievement and confidence. Children with reading and writing difficulties need one-on-one attention to support their literacy skills. Our speech-language pathologists will do a comprehensive reading and writing assessment and create a treatment plan to support your child’s needs. Our therapists also collaborate with teachers and school staff to help your child succeed academically.
