We are celebrating a big milestone at Speechology today. 🎉

This friend has officially graduated from Unit 2, where he mastered consonants and short vowels, the building blocks for reading and spelling.

He has worked so hard, stayed determined, and kept pushing even when things were challenging. Watching his confidence grow each week has been so rewarding.

We are incredibly proud of him and can’t wait to see all the progress he continues to make as we move into the next unit. Way to go! 👏📚

Some of the smartest kids in the classroom are the ones working the hardest just to read.

Dyslexia affects about 1 in 5 people. That means there are likely several students with dyslexia in every classroom.

Many are never identified because they are bright enough to compensate… until the workload becomes overwhelming.

When we understand how a child’s brain learns, we can give them the tools they need to succeed.

Early support can completely change a child’s future with reading.

If you’re wondering whether your child might have dyslexia, we’re here to help guide you!

Big news for our Speechology NWA families 💚

We are moving from Main Street to Hwy 59!

We’ve loved being on Main Street. This next step is simply about creating an even better environment for the kids we serve.

Our new location at 1025 S Gentry Blvd (right across from The Wooden Spoon) gives us:

• A yard space so we can incorporate more movement and fun outdoor activities into sessions
• So many windows and natural light
• A little more flexibility to grow intentionally

And let’s be honest… being across from The Wooden Spoon doesn’t hurt either 🥧

We’re so excited about what this space will allow us to do for our families. Same heart, same mission, just a new spot with a little more room to breathe and play.

We can’t wait to welcome you there! 💚

If your child had speech therapy in preschool, this is for you!!

Many kids who receive speech therapy go on to thrive.

But research shows some children with a history of speech sound disorder are at increased risk for later reading difficulties.

That does NOT mean it will happen.
It does mean we should pay attention early.

Some things to watch for:
• Trouble rhyming
• Difficulty blending sounds together
• Struggling to sound out simple words
• Speech errors that linger past age 6

Speech and reading are deeply connected.
Both rely on strong phonological skills.

The earlier we support those skills, the stronger the reading foundation becomes.

If you’ve ever wondered whether early speech therapy and reading struggles are connected, they absolutely can be.

And early support changes everything.

It’s parent-teacher conference season 💛

If you’re hearing that your child has made growth this year but is still below grade level, we want you to know something important… growth is amazing, and support can continue that progress.

Sometimes kids work incredibly hard and improve, but they still need targeted, structured intervention to fully catch up in reading, spelling, or language skills. That’s where we come in.

At Speechology NWA, we specialize in:
• Dyslexia intervention
• Reading and spelling support
• Mixed receptive/expressive language therapy
• Comprehensive evaluations

You do not have to navigate this alone. If conferences leave you with questions or concerns, reach out. We’re happy to talk through next steps and help you decide what support may look like.

We accept Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Municipal Health.

Message us or call the clinic to schedule an evaluation or learn more.

Let’s keep that growth going 💙

🎉 We’re all set up for teletherapy and we’re excited about it 🎉

Teletherapy lets your child get high-quality reading and dyslexia support from home, with the same structured, data-driven approach we use in person. No long drives, no missed sessions due to weather, and easier scheduling for busy families.

With teletherapy, kids still get direct, one-on-one instruction, clear visuals, interactive activities, and real-time feedback. Many students stay more focused and confident in their own space, which helps skills stick faster.

This also means we can support families who live farther away or have limited local options, without compromising quality.

📍 Speechology NWA
✔ Structured literacy & dyslexia intervention
✔ Teletherapy ready
✔ Accepts Medicaid, BCBS, and Municipal plans

Message us to see if teletherapy is a good fit for your child. We still offer in person sessions.

🚨 This is how kids quietly fall behind in school 🚨

Your child may say,
“I know that spelling rule.”

But if their accuracy is 50–70%, the skill is not mastered. At school pace, that means guessing, confusion, and gaps that grow fast.

Research in structured literacy shows students need about 95% accuracy for a reading or spelling skill to truly stick and support future learning. Below that, the brain is still working too hard just to apply the rule, leaving kids behind as lessons move on.

This is why some kids seem “fine” early on, then suddenly struggle in reading and spelling.

If this sounds familiar, extra support can make all the difference.

🧠 Why repetition matters for students with dyslexia

Students with dyslexia don’t struggle because they aren’t trying hard enough.
Their brains need more repetitions for reading and spelling skills to become automatic.

A typical learner may need 10–20 repetitions.
A student with dyslexia may need hundreds of correct, structured repetitions over time, sometimes 300–400+, for a skill to truly stick.

This repetition happens gradually through:
• explicit instruction
• structured review
• repeated reading and spelling
• revisiting skills across weeks and months

When skills seem mastered one week and shaky the next, it’s not lack of effort.
It means the skill hasn’t reached automaticity yet.

More repetition isn’t a setback.
It’s how dyslexic learners succeed.

🚨 Do. Not. Wait. 🚨
If a child starts behind in reading, the odds of catching up fall fast:
📚 49% in kindergarten
📘 29% in first grade
📗 18% in second grade
📕 5% in third grade
We don’t have a third-grade reading crisis — we have an early learning opportunity.
When parents, teachers, and interventionists work together early, kids thrive.
At Speechology NWA, we believe prevention is better than remediation.
Let’s start early. Let’s start strong.
