What is ASHA’s Position Statement on Roles and Responsibilities of SLPs with respect to Reading and Writing in Children and Adolescents (2010)?

SLPs contribute to Literacy
Oral Language is the foundation of reading and writing
Spoken and written language have reciprocal relationship
Children with spoken language problems have difficulty with reading and writing
Instruction in Spoken language can result in increased written language and vice versa
SLPs assess children with persistent language problems in learning to read (decoding) and write (spelling, syntax, morphology, etc.).
SLPs collaborate with teachers and administrators
SLPs explain how difficulties with listening and speaking will negatively impact reading (decoding and comprehension) and writing.
What are the connections between spoken and written language?

Pairing sound awareness (phonemic, phonological, and morphological) with letters (alphabetic principle) for spelling and writing.
