Reading issues and speech problems

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

My DD is 7 and has some speech issues that make it difficult for her to correctly form some sounds. We have been working with a speech therapist but not gaining much ground.  We homeschool and she is eager to learn to read but we keep running into the same problem. If I sound out a word, she can correctly identify the word but when she tries to sound out a word she can't pronounce it correct and therefor can't hear the word. Has anyone experienced this before? Any techniques to help with it?  Thanks!

Had she had her hearing tested by an audiologist? If not, that would be my first step.
