Very Early Language Deficits in Dyslexic Children.
Scarborough, Hollis S.
Child Development, v61 n6 p1728-43 Dec 1990
At 30 months, children who were later considered dyslexic were deficient in length, sytactic complexity, and pronunciation of spoken language. At three years, children were deficit in receptive vocabulary and object-naming, and at five years, in phonemic awareness and letter-sound knowledge. These deficits were not found in normal reading children from dyslexic families. (BC)
