Reading and Writing

The Challenges in Reading and Writing

Effective reading and writing skills are essential to personal wellbeing, future opportunities, and academic achievement. Children who struggle to read and write may have challenges with linking their phonological awareness skills to reading and/or writing, understanding what is read, vocabulary development (learning new words), and/or reading fluently.

We will work with your child to improve their phonological awareness skills and their ability to link these skills to print, reading comprehension, reading fluency, and vocabulary development.

Research indicates that play based therapy interventions stimulates learning and motivates little ones and reluctant learners.
