TLDR
The paper supports the suggestion that deficits in phonological awareness are often a consequence of slow vocabulary development and that teachers need to be able to adapt their language and dialogue interactions for children with language delays.
A longitudinal investigation of reading outcomes in children with language impairments.
TLDR
Results indicated that children with LI in kindergarten were at a high risk for reading disabilities in second and fourth grades, and children's literacy knowledge/ experience in kindergarten and their initial reading achievement in second grade were good predictors of subsequent reading outcomes.
