Spelling Problems
Children with auditory discrimination issues do not always hear sounds in the correct order or as individual units. For example, if they are asked to spell the word "plan" they may write the word "pan", because they heard the "pl" as "p" and did not hear the "l". This can negatively impact spelling skills. It affects reading the same way and children with this issue may sometimes reverse or omit letters.

Improved spelling is one of the clearest indicators that auditory discrimination skills are improving. At Clear Pathways, we address spelling skills directly in our therapy and in our e-books.

I'm writing to let you know how my son is doing since finishing with you. Before coming to you he could never remember even simple spelling words 20 minutes after learning them. Now he is retaining them and remembering his multiplication facts too! His reading was at 85 (at risk) words per minute before coming to you. His teacher recently tested him and he was at 137 and the goal was 118 by the end of the year!! I'm so impressed that he exceeded his goal and before the end of the year. He is a much more confident reader, speller and writer. I'm so thankful he enjoyed coming to see you and doing the work at home. Thank you for helping to build his self-esteem and teaching him to learn to use his brain properly.
