Language to Literacy Program
Does your child...
• Have difficulty paying attention and listening?
• Have difficulty asking for help, repetition, or expressing when he/she does not understand something?
• Have difficulty following directions or remembering information?
• Have difficulty staying organized? Is his/her desk messy? Does he/she forget homework assignments and books? Does his/her homework get done, but not make it to the teacher?
• Have difficulty understanding syllables and sounds in words and understanding what letters correspond to each sound?
• Have a poor vocabulary or difficuty remembering the meaning of new words?
• Have a diagnosis of a receptive language disorder, expressive language disorder, or a central auditory processing disorder?
• Have difficulty pronouncing words, understanding what he/she has read, and/or spelling? Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center's Language to Literacy Program may be able to help.
The program is available to students 6 - 16 years of age who have language/literacy deficits. We believe that poor reading skills are based in language problems and that the following skills are critical to successful reading and success in and outside of the classroom:
1. Auditory Processing - what you do with what you hear
2. Phonological Awareness and Phonics -hearing, identifying, manipulating and spelling the sounds of spoken language
3. Receptive and Expressive Language -understanding and using vocabulary, grammar and concepts
