Desempe o en lectura inicial de escolares con TEL que presentan problemas fonológicos o morfosintácticos

The objective of this study is to give more information about the impact of primary school student's phonological problems and morphosyntactic problems in initial reading with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). We used a study group of 18 school students with SLI. and a control group of 30 individuals with typical language development. Among the children with SLI, twelve presented phonological problems and the other six had morpho-syntactical problems. All were evaluated in phonology, morphosyntax and initial reading. The results indicate that children with SLI have a significantly lower performance in initial reading when compared with the control group. Moreover, it was noted that the initial reading problems and word decoding problems were mainly in school students with morphosyntactic problems.
