Fifty-six
children with speech-language impairments were identified in kindergarten
and followed in first and second grades. Subjects' performance on
standardized measures of language ability in kindergarten was closely
related to reading outcome, especially reading comprehension. Measures
of phonological awareness and rapid automatized naming were found
to be the best predictors of written word recognition. (Author/JDD)
