There is also a great website with a ton of resources of games and activities that helps all learners. It is done by a speech pathologist and a teacher is our school. there are free activities and games and some that you can purchase as well. it gives an interesting and very beneficial spin to the connection between speech and language skills and struggling readers. The website is called www.readingresource.net. it talks about dyslexia but there is a ton of resources on the site and I highly recommend it.
