Episode #3: Speech Development Affects Early Readers

Early speech struggles can also be signs of dyslexia. By the end of the third episode of #DearReadingTeacher, @HoneybeeLiteracy answers a listener’s question about the early signs in speech of dyslexia. The founder of Honeybee Literacy, Tiniyja Burney, M.A., CCC-SLP, illuminates why Speech-Language Pathologists should always be included in the early reading conversation.
