Impairments involved in written language disorders (ASHA Practice Portal)
- Fluent word recognition
- Reading comprehension
- Written spelling
- Written expression
- Adoption of an emergent literacy viewpoint
Reading readiness model - A trend away from the whole language model toward instruction in explicit skills
- A realization that reading and language are language-based activities
Why are SLPs involved in literacy
- There were prerequisites to learning to read
Certain visual, auditory, and linguistic skills needed to be attained
A mental age of 6.5
Reading readiness model
Now recognized literacy skills are emergent way before elementary school, as early as infants

Signs and symptoms of written language disorders
Three levels at which children should be assessed for reading and writing skills
- The emergent level (birth to preschool)
- Early elementary level (k- 3rd grade)
When children are learning to read - The later levels (grade 4 and above)
When children are expected to read to learn
- How to hold a book right-side up
- How to turn the pages
- That print is read in English from left to right, from the top to bottom
- That the “squiggles” on the page say the same thing, no matter who is reading them
- Some children may naturally pick up some sight words
