Welcome everyone to the Language and Literacy blog where I hope to share and discuss ideas, strategies and current research about literacy and language.

I often get asked by parents "how can I supplement your sessions with practice at home?" or "are there educational games that I can buy for my child?" or "are there apps that you recommend for handwriting/letter reversals/phonological awareness/working memory?". I will be sharing resources for both parents and other professionals on this blog. For parents, there will be recommendations for how to build vocabulary, syntax, comprehension and oral expression skills at home. For other professionals (SLP's, OT's, Sped. Teachers, Reading Specialists etc), I will share materials and resources that have proven to be very effective for therapy. Please do share your thoughts and comments. I look forward to beginning this conversation about language and literacy.
