I talk to my kids all day long, but I still don’t naturally use every word they need to learn. 🙃

Some words just don’t come up in everyday conversation… but they show up beautifully in children’s books.

That’s one of my favorite things about reading aloud: books give kids access to vocabulary that might not otherwise be part of their day-to-day language. 📚✨

Here's a recent example of a few words my sons and I read that I probably wouldn’t have said!

Could there be more to your child's reading struggles? 📚
Sometimes, a child who is struggling to read needs more than extra practice.
Reading is built on a foundation of many skills: speech, language, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and literacy skills. When one or more pieces of that foundation are difficult, it can affect how a child learns to read.

As a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist with Orton-Gillingham training I love helping families better understand why their child may be struggling to read.
I offer private dyslexia and literacy evaluations using the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) by WPS, along with additional measures selected on a case-by-case basis to better understand your child's individual strengths and areas of need.

My goal is to help answer questions like:
📖 Is my child behind for their age in reading?
🧩 Could speech or language skills be affecting their reading development?
🔤 Are they struggling with the underlying skills needed for decoding and spelling?
💡 What are their strengths?
➡️ And most importantly...what should we do next?
An evaluation isn't just about identifying what a child struggles with. It's about understanding the whole picture and creating a clearer path forward.

📲📧If you've been wondering whether a dyslexia or literacy evaluation may be appropriate for your child, I'd be happy to start with a consultation 💃 DM me
