Abstract
Preschool predictors of later reading comprehension ability: a systematic review
Highlights
Knowledge about preschool predictors of later reading comprehension is valuable for several reasons
Language comprehension had a moderate direct impact on reading comprehension. This impact increased with age, and linguistic comprehension becomes more important for reading comprehension when children master decoding
Our findings show that the foundation for reading comprehension is established in the preschool years through the development of language comprehension and code-related skills
Summary
Knowledge about preschool predictors of later reading comprehension is valuable for several reasons. Longitudinal studies can aid in generating understanding and causal hypotheses about language and literacy development, both of which are crucial processes in child development. A better understanding of these developmental processes may guide the establishment of effective instruction and interventions to teach reading comprehension that can later be tested in randomized controlled trials. Knowledge about preschool precursors for reading comprehension skills can aid in developing tools to identify children at risk of reading difficulties
