Purpose: Speech-language pathologists have the skills and knowledge needed to play:an important role, in the early identification Of children who are at risk for reading difficulties.: Whereas research ha identified language and other: factors that may:be predictive of future reading problems, studies have not provided the statistical models and classification data needed for the implementation of early identification programs in this paper, we report the results of a longitudinal;study that examined kindergarten predictors of second-grade reading outcome.Method: Six hundred and Four children were given a battery of language, early:literacy,: and nonverbal cognitive measures in kindergarten: as part of an epidemiologic study of language impairments in children.:follow-up testing of reading;achievement was completed in second grade. Participants were divided into hose children with and without reading : difficultiesResults Findings indicated that five kindergarten: variables (letter identification sentence imitation phonological awareness, rapid naming, and mother's education) uniquely predicted reading outcome in second grade:Clinical Implications: A logistic regression-formula and classification data based on these results are provided.. Suggestions are offered concerning how this information could be used In an early identification and:intervention program for children who are at risk for: reading difficulties.
