Listening, understanding, and speaking skills are important for good literacy. Speech pathologists work with children and families to help to build the foundations on which literacy skills develop and help support a healthy transition into literacy. 

Meet your local speech pathologist, enjoy a reading of one of Speech Pathology Australia's Book of the Year winning books and find out more about how you can support your child's language and literacy development at home. 

This event is aimed at parents and carers of children aged 3-5 years old.
