Research Articles

Here is a great research article that discusses early signs of dyslexia in PRESCHOOLERS who are in the “at risk” category. Speech delays turn into reading problems. Following is an excerpt of an article called The Relationship Between Language and Learning Disabilities on the LDOnline.org website:

In 1980, Snyder predicted that the language-delayed preschooler of today may well become the learning-disabled child of tomorrow. A growing body of evidence supports her prediction and suggests that many of these children do not "outgrow" these problems, and that "simple" delays in communication may, in fact, be stable predictors of later learning disabilities.

One set of researchers followed a group of children from ages 2 to 6. The children were identified at age 2 as "late talkers." Although the majority outgrew their oral language delay by age 4, they demonstrated academic delays at ages 5 and 6.

Another set of researchers found that the oral language disorders decreased over time, giving the impression of "recovery" by age 5. However, the majority of those children experienced reading disabilities by grade 2.
