Imagine Your Child Reading and Writing for Fun!
Ready to say goodbye to tears or fights over reading and writing?
Some reading specialists or reading tutors focus only on decoding (sounding out words). This may lead to short-term gains, but ongoing comprehension difficulties are likely to persist, and progress can be slower.
Achieve Faster Progress
When I work with your child, I complete a comprehensive evaluation to determine what they are struggling with and why. Then I focus on every aspect of reading and writing that your child needs to be successful.
In order to read and write easily, children need to develop the following skills:
Phonemic awareness (understanding of sounds)
Phonics (understanding of letters/sounds)
Fluency (reading smoothly)
Comprehension
Vocabulary
As a speech-language pathologist, I am uniquely trained to address all these areas! By working with me on all the skills needed for reading and spelling, your child will be more successful.
I can also work with your child to develop the skills needed for higher-level writing skills. Some of the kids I have worked with have even gone on to write their own books!
Helping Kids Understand Others and Express Themselves
When it comes to language therapy, I primarily work with children who are speaking in full sentences but who have difficulty understanding and expressing more complex ideas.
Do you ever find yourself wondering, “What if my child can never clearly express all the ideas I know they have to share? Will they be able to graduate from high school? Go to college? Get a job?”
Language therapy can help kids:
Tell stories with all the important parts like the characters, setting, feelings, problem, and resolution.
Learn to answer questions about information they have heard or read.
Write sentences, paragraphs, and even full essays.
Identify the main idea and details.
Make inferences and connections.
Correct grammatical errors.
Time to Help Your Child Achieve Clear Speech
Speech therapy with me can help your child speak more clearly.
Nothing is worse than knowing your child has so many things to tell the world, but they can’t be understood. Without speech therapy, your child’s speech might not improve on its own.
Fortunately, I can help kids with various types of speech sound disorders, like articulation disorders and phonological disorders, achieve clear speech. I’ll work with them to learn how to make the sounds that are currently challenging them using a systematic approach.
