Reading is an essential skill, and some children may need extra help to master it. Here are 11 signs that your child might benefit from reading therapy:

Struggles with phonemic awareness (sounds of words) 🎶
Slow or labored reading 🐢
Difficulty decoding unfamiliar words 🤔
Poor comprehension of what they read 🤷‍♀️
Avoidance of reading tasks 🚫📖
Limited vocabulary development 📖❌
Frequent guessing rather than sounding out words 🤷
Inconsistent spelling of familiar words 📝
Problems with sight word recognition 👀
Letter reversals or confusion (like 'b' and 'd') 🔄
History of speech or language delays 🎤

If your child is showing these signs, reading therapy can make a big difference in boosting their confidence and skills! 💪

Every child develops at their own pace, but if your little one isn’t meeting expected speech milestones, it may be more than “just late talking.” Early support makes a BIG difference in communication, learning, and confidence. 💬💡
