This SIG 1 activity focuses on how speech sound disorders (SSDs) can have an
impact on children’s literacy skills and development.
The first article describes the phonological awareness (PA) skills of children with
SSDs and compares the relationships between types of speech errors to strengths and
weaknesses in their phonological awareness abilities.
The second article is a tutorial that aims to provide evidence that supports the
use of print and print referencing in speech therapy sessions with children who have
SSDs.
The third article examines the available evidence for intervention frameworks that
support literacy skill development, specifically within the context of SSD intervention.
The fourth article reviews why SSDs put children at risk for word reading
difficulties and how speech-language pathologists can integrate foundational skills to
reduce this risk.
