Everyone says "advocate for your child."

Almost no one tells you that there are steps before that to take before you advocate.

The parents who get the best outcomes in Year 7 don't start by fighting the school. They start by learning how the system works and preparing properly. By the time they advocate, they know exactly what to ask for and how.

That's part of what Cathy Harrison's session is on Wed 17 June, and more on how to prepare your grade 6 child for their transition to year 7.

$30 per household.

Mother’s Day Reflections 🌸 (Swipe to see our OG giftbag from 9 years ago…)

Community and care are part of our core values, and we live them out by lifting each other up, and going above and beyond for our clients.

Looking for ways to give back to our community, however small, is one way we show our appreciation and care to our families.

Since 2017, when we started having more capacity and resourcing (time, manpower) to, we would do this small token of appreciation for the families who work behind the scenes - a quiet but hopefully powerful encouragement to carers that their involvement in speech therapy is visible and important.

Back in 2017, it was just me, putting together “Blessing Bags” late at night and then trying to remember to hand them out to all the small but growing clientele we had.

Today, we have a proper system to curate and distribute (in person and online) close to 300 gifts for Mother’s Day (and other key dates). It is a great privilege to have grown into this and be able to bless and help so many families and continue our tradition of showing appreciation in this small way.

Mums, stepmums, grandmas, aunties and/or other mother figures and carers who work tirelessly to support your children with their speech and communication goals, we hope you take time to celebrate you. We know first hand, how hard it can be to pause. You deserve it. 💕✨

Happy Mother’s Day!

Literacy Truths for Parents (and educators):

đź’ˇ Knowledge of letter sounds matter more than letter names
Phonemes (also known as the sounds the letters make) are the building blocks of reading. E.g., Knowing the letter "B" says "/b/" trumps knowing it's called 'bee'.

đź’ˇ Strong talkers aren't always strong readers
Spoken language and reading use different brain pathways. A child can have a rich vocabulary and yet struggle to decode text.

đź’ˇ Reading must be explicitly taught
Unlike speaking, reading doesn't develop naturally. Children need direct, structured instruction in reading, as it does not click on its own. The gold standard of literacy instruction is direct, explicit, structured phonics instruction.

đź’ˇ A solid literacy foundation allows children to tackle unfamiliar words easily
Children with strong phonics skills can decode words they've never seen before. In fact, a good litmus test to determine whether children truly know how to read is showing them unfamiliar words and seeing how they attempt to sound them out or read them out.

đź’ˇ Literacy difficulties have nothing to do with intelligence
Dyslexia and reading difficulties affect people across the full IQ range. A child who struggles to read is not a child who struggles to think.

If you suspect your child is struggling in their literacy difficulties, please speak to a professional. Speech Pathologists can help - and we can certainly help your child at Speech Ease! If you're not quite sure yet, book a Clarity Consult with us.
