Could your child use a boost in reading/writing/spelling?
Students with reading and or writing challenges need instruction that enables them to make sense of the sound structure of the English language. SPELL- Links systematically teaches students to integrate sounds, letter patterns, and meanings in order to read and spell words (multi-linguistic word study instruction). It explicitly shows them how to transfer this language knowledge to everyday reading and writing (meta-linguistic word study instruction). SPELL-Links is one a variety methodologies Wee Speech can incorporate into treatment. Contact the office for more information.
