Abstract:
|
Preschool children with Specific Language Impairment are at an increased risk for
later reading difficulties (Watson , Layton , & Pierce , 1994 ; Catts et al . , 1999 ; Johnston et
al . , 1999 ; Boudreau & Hedberg , 1999 ) . Current emergent literacy intervention
approaches have been discussed regarding typically developing children and children
from lower incomes , but they lack efficacy data for preschoolers with SLI . The purpose
of this article is to describe the current literature regarding emergent literacy intervention
in preschoolers with SLI and reach an evidence -base decision as to the most effective
intervention techniques to utilize in order to prevent later reading difficulties . |
