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.
