It’s important that parent address the problems as early as possible. Early diagnosis can help with the success of treatment methods. You can help your child by reading stories to them out loud and exposing them to recorded books and toys with letters on them.

Lastly, make sure that you set an example. If you read a lot and listen to audiobooks, your child will naturally follow in your footsteps.
