✦ Synopsis

This paper reports a longitudinal study of the oral and written language development of a randomly selected sample of 74 children who were followed from age 4 to 9 years. The focus of this report is the oral language precursors of reading difficulties. The relative contribution of semantic/syntactic and phonological precursors was assessed. Regression analyses indicated that phonological awareness at age 6 was the strongest predictor of reading abilities, though syntax and semantics also had an impact. The results are related to 'the phonological deficit hypothesis' of dyslexia and also to the problems involved in prediction of the outcome for individual children. 1997
