There are many known predictors of literacy skills, such as phonological awareness, oral language skills, vocabulary, and nonlinguistic cognitive skills (working memory, executive function, processing speech, inhibition, attention) and it is well documented that a language impairments place children at risk for reading disorders, but for students with a speech sound disorder, this is a little less clear. In this episode, we will use an article by Skebo, Lewis, Freebairn, Tag, Ciesla, and Stein, Reading Skills of Students With Speech Sound Disorders at Three Stages of Literacy Development to discuss how speech sound development is believed to be connected to a child's literacy development.
