Did you know that many children with hyperlexia have a strong fascination with letters, numbers, words, and books from a very young age?
While hyperlexic children may learn to recognize words early, they often need support developing language, social communication, and comprehension skills.
The good news? Speech therapists can use a child's love of letters and print to build early language skills! Through letter-based games, alphabet activities, favorite books, and print-rich play, we can turn a child's interests into meaningful opportunities for communication, vocabulary growth, and language learning.
When we follow a child's interests, learning becomes more engaging, motivating, and effective.
