| Abstract: | A group of speech-language impaired children was administered a battery of standardized language tests and measures of phonological
processing in kindergarten. Performance on these language measures was then compared to reading ability in first grade. Results
indicated that children with semantic-syntactic language deficits had more difficulties in reading than did children with
primarily speech articulation impairments. In addition, phonological processing measures were found to be good predictors
of reading achievement. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for the early identification of developmental
dyslexia.
