Educators and researchers are aware of the need for early diagnosis. In response,
research investigating early correlates of later reading ability/disability has
burgeoned (e.g. Wagner et al., 1997). However, these early reading studies
primarily focus on school age children (e.g. Share et al., 1984). To date, only a few
studies have focused on the reading trajectories of children younger than
preschool, and there is little consistency within the existing studies (e.g.
Scarborough, 1990, 1991).
In the current study, we trace the development of the two aspects of the
phonological processing deficit in a longitudinal follow-up study of two-year-olds.
Shatz et al. (1996, 1999, 2001) investigated the underlying lexical structure in
two-year-old children. Although their experiments were tailored to examine early
word learning behavior, their study design is uniquely suited to looking at the
phonological processing skills of two-year old children as well. In this study, we
measure the early reading skills of these same two-year-olds at five to seven years
of age in order to determine the predictivity of the early two-year old behaviors for
later reading ability.
