Literacy Programs

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 difficulty remembering the meaning of new words?

• Have difficulty understanding what he/she has read, and/or spelling?

Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center's Literacy Programs may be able to help.

These programs are available to students 6 - 18 years of age who have reading/literacy deficits. We believe 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.
