While the road to her expressive language (speaking) has been rocky and bumpy, it’s totally the opposite for her receptive language.
She suddenly demonstrated her ability in reading when she was 4 when we had been busy and worried with her speech. Just like that, reading words by words without us properly teaching her, other than reading books together routinely from early days.
Maybe she knows we’ve been having enough headache and heartache dealing with her speech. So, she let us sit back and relax without teaching how to read part.
In spite of her language disorder, she reads quickly, and it happens in every language she learns.
She reads 90 books in the school apps during 3 months of first lockdown.
Learning music is learning language. She reads musical notation quickly in one sitting. She could differentiate the same notes in different places. Finished almost five books in less than a year.
Learning quran is learning language. She quickly memorized all the letters, the signs, combining the letters into words, she finished 4 level of iqro in one year.
Having language disorder is unavoidable.
But we always have choices. Like having NO ZERO DAYS for few things we consider important.
Don’t let one diagnosis of disability prevent you from doing SO MANY other abilities you can do and will be great too, as long as you never stop and quit.
