Global Reading for Speech Delay
How reading stimulates speech development in children with speech and language disorders
How Does Reading Help with Speech Delay?
With severe speech and language disorders, a child may understand speech but cannot produce words. Global reading creates visual support for words — the child sees the word, hears its pronunciation, and this stimulates the brain's speech centers.
- Visual support for words the child cannot pronounce
- Audio accompaniment for each word — correct pronunciation model
- Expanding passive and active vocabulary
- Stimulating speech centers through the visual channel
- Foundation for further speech therapy sessions
Our speech therapist suggested trying whole-word reading. After a month, Sophie said her first word — one she had only 'read' before. We were in tears of joy.
