Speak2Read

Speak2Read Strong speech and language foundations are mandatory for reading & writing. We are committed to family success in speaking, reading, and writing.

At Speak2Read, we are passionate about helping kids and families to Achieve, Believe, and Communicate! Communication encompasses not only the things we say, but also the way we speak, the way we think, the way we read, and the way we write. Communication is essential for establishing and maintaining social relationships, for academic achievement, and for business and work success later in life. Communication skills play a large role in shaping our identity and developing our confidence. We are committed to current research, theory, and practise to ensure our clients receive impactful and purposeful intervention with communication skill improvement always at the forefront of our goals. We strive for the perfect marriage of research-informed practise, experience, and student engagement so that our work is meaningful but fun! Our current staff provides support for children aged 3 – 18 and their families. We address delays or disorders in speech, language, literacy, and learning. Support is available for difficulties with saying sounds, creating and comprehending sentences (language), and written language skills - reading, writing, and spelling. We offer comprehensive services including assessment, consultation, parent training/home programming, and therapy. We strive to ensure parents understand the impact of communication delays or deficits as well as the purpose of our therapy activities. In addition to our goal of improving client communication skills, we are also mindful of empowering parents to help their children at home. All children learn differently and have individual profiles of strength and challenge. We strongly believe that interventions must be individually tailored to the client, and that one size never fits all. As such, we prefer to begin our time to together with assessment that allows the child teach us which communication skills they are good at, and which ones may require further practise. Comprehensive and accurate assessment leads to the design of effective interventions. Billing is determined through an hourly rate, but don’t forget the initial consultation is free! Intervention schedules vary by family schedule and client needs. Full-time clinic hours are currently available through zoom and in-person, with COVID-19 protocols in place.

Why Oral Language is the Bedrock of Literacy

Did you know that reading, writing, and spelling all hinge on strong oral language skills? In our latest blog post, we dive into six key components — phonology, vocabulary, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, and orthography — and show how gaps in any one area can ripple into challenges in other areas.

👉 Read “Oral Language and Literacy Development: Why It Matters” to learn:
• Why orthography is more than just memorizing words
• Why generic literacy programs often miss the mark
• How a comprehensive language assessment can pinpoint where support is needed
• The benefits of one‑on‑one therapy with a Speech‑Language Pathologist

If you’ve noticed your child struggling with spelling, reading aloud, organizing their thoughts, or making sense of written texts, this post is for you.

Is it a reading disability or a language processing issue?
Many kids struggling with reading, writing, or spelling are labeled with learning disabilities — but the root cause is often an underlying language processing disorder.

Our blog breaks down why comprehensive language assessments are critical to identifying the real challenges and how targeted therapy can help.
