Literacy Connect 2024

Introduction

In this episode, I am joined by Brianna Guild, a private practice SLP from Ontario, Canada, as we discuss the integration of literacy tasks into speech therapy sessions, emphasizing the importance of phonological awareness and phonics.

Integrating Literacy into Speech-Language Pathology

Brianna shares her expertise and experience in literacy intervention, especially for children with speech sound delays. She delves into the role of SLPs in literacy, preferred assessment tools, and strategies for incorporating literacy into therapy, including phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. They also touch on the balance between structured interventions and child-led interests. Brianna provides practical activity ideas and resources for SLPs to enhance their literacy-focused sessions.
