Structure
Gateway to Reading
Oral Language is a critical component in developing phonemic awareness, comprehension, and vocabulary, the building blocks of reading. Targetted instruction intervened by a speech-language pathologist and certified academic language practitioners/therapists who provide a specific lens to support literacy and spoken language development through programs supported by the International Dyslexia Association.
Speech-language pathologists are usually the first professionals
to discover the root cause to reading and writing problems (ASHA, n.d.).
