Kids learn to read at different paces, and it’s normal for them to struggle at some point. But if learning to read becomes an ongoing struggle that leaves a child falling behind their peers, it’s possible that they have a learning disorder known as dyslexia.
Learning to read requires several different parts of the brain to work together. For some kids, learning to read comes easily, no matter the method. But others need a specific kind of teaching called “systematic phonics-based instruction.”
Identifying kids with reading problems early is important so they can get the support they need to succeed in school. To learn more or to schedule an evaluation, please reach out to us today.
FOR CAREGIVERS
Intensive Academic Interventions
Individualized academic interventions are for students struggling to meet learning benchmarks due to learning disorders or pandemic disruption. Our educational specialists and speech language pathologists build tailored interventions for each student to help with reading, writing, math challenges, communication skills, and more.
FOR EDUCATORS
The Need for Effective Reading Instruction
Reading is the most important skill children need to gain in the first few years of school. But how it’s taught can have a big impact on how well they succeed. Systematic phonics-based instruction helps kids learn to recognize printed letters and match them to specific sounds. Interested in learning more? Request a workshop with our expert clinical staff.
