Our Comprehensive Literacy Program was designed by a speech-language pathologist with extensive literacy training. The program supports and enhances reading and writing skills for school-age children.
Led by our pediatric speech-language pathologists, literacy our program focuses on:
- Symbol imagery
- Phonemic awareness
- Phonological awareness
- Decoding and encoding skills
- Simple and complex syllable shapes
- Phonics (spelling rules)
This program is meant to either complement speech-language therapy services or to be used as a stand-alone intensive.

“Jennifer Katz and her team have been screening our kindergarteners for any speech and language concerns since 2013. They are extremely professional and efficient. Our teachers and parents are pleased with the process and the results. We will continue to work with Jennifer and team.”
—Grace Huang, Learning Specialist at Chinese American International School
“Jennifer Katz, Inc. is a great resource for the teachers and parents in our school community. Their team presented a very informative and engaging talk on the typical speech and language milestones for preschool children to our staff at a recent professional development day. The material was insightful and useful for all our teachers and they all came away with strategies they could use to help the children in their classes.”
—Deborah Anaya, director of Calvary Nursery School
