Literacy skills begin to develop in early childhood, and addressing
deficits in reading and writing skills early may prevent later problems in
school. This journal self-study explores special situations that may affect
literacy skills, including the presence of speech sound disorders, hearing
impairment, and cultural and/or socioeconomic differences. It also includes
articles that discuss intervention techniques to improve phonological
awareness, an important emergent literacy skill. Clinicians can use this
information to improve reading and writing assessment and treatment techniques for
preschool and early elementary school children.
