Children with speech and language difficulties or disorders are at greater risk of experiencing literacy difficulties as they enter formal schooling.
This is thought to be the case as both speech & language development and literacy development rely on some of the same cognitive processes.
Telethon Speech & Hearing’s Talkabout Literacy provides small group intervention for children who are experiencing reading and spelling difficulties at school.
Eligibility
Available for students in Years 1, 2 and 3, Talkabout Literacy adopts an evidence-based, synthetic phonics approach to teaching reading and spelling – essential for struggling readers.
Class sizes are capped at 6 and children work in small groups of 3 with a Specialist Teacher or Speech Pathologist and Education Assistant.
Session days and times
Talkabout Literacy runs for blocks of 9 to 10 weeks (dependent on the school term). The weekly sessions are 2 hours. Please contact TSH for current days and session times.
