Are you concerned that your child might be dyslexic?

• The links between early speech and language difficulties and problems with literacy development are well known.  

• As children get older and the speech and language problems appear to recede, difficulties with reading and spelling come to the fore.

• Some children who have had early speech and language difficulties find literacy development very difficut. 

• Other children may have ongoing difficulties with speech, language and communication, and struggle to develop basic reading and spelling skills.

As the focus of teaching in school changes to written skills, the underlying language needs can be overlooked. 

Targetted teaching to address aspects of speech and language development, as well as written skills, is needed to ensure development of both. This is where Dyslexia Brighton may be able to help.
