The development of a strong spoken language foundation – phonology, vocabulary, grammar – is essential for learning to read and to write. Being competent in oral and written language is crucial for social and academic success. We also know that competent social and academic skills are important for positive self-esteem and for developing individuals who are better prepared to navigate the challenges of family, school and workplace cultures.

​

FACTS
 

• Reading and writing difficulties occur when a child demonstrates phonological difficulties 

• Related issues can be present, such as  learning to decode print and reading comprehension problems

• In early childhood, children with phonological problems are often slow to develop speech and language

• A child may make multiple speech errors and have problems with word-finding, grammatical forms and following the ‘flow’ of conversation

• These problems are not related to intelligence but to differences in how our brains process linguistic information

​​
