How Does Spoken Language Set the Foundation for Learning to Read?
The process of learning to read doesn’t begin with the alphabet itself, but is deeply rooted in the spoken language skills that children develop from a very early age.
Welcome to our blog, a dedicated space where we delve into the world of dyslexia and reading acquisition. Our mission is to provide a guiding light for parents navigating the path to support their children, offering insights, support and resources to empower them on this transformative journey.
Struggling readers are not just statistics; they are unique individuals with diverse stories. Here, we explore the unique needs of these children. We believe it is essential to address the mental health aspects for dyslexic children, understanding that their challenges are not just academic, but emotional as well.
We want to create a space where parents and educators can come together to share experiences, strategies, and support for children with reading difficulties. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter future, where every child’s path to reading is met with understanding, compassion, and the tools they need to succeed.

And even though learning to talk doesn’t require any literacy skills, learning to read and write requires language skills. In fact, oral language skills are key to strong literacy development. Research has shown that listening and speaking skills have a direct relationship to the skills needed for reading and writing.
