Technical Reading and Writing Skills and Their Relationship with Linguistic Processes in Children with a Cleft (Lip and) Palate: A Comparison with Peers

Conclusion: Our findings did not provide evidence for any difference in word decoding skills and writing skills between children with a CP ±L and their peers. Some linguistic processes, more specifically phonological awareness and working memory, are important factors that contribute to the child’s literacy development. Identification of these linguistic skills can provide important information on the child’s future reading and wr iting performance. Future studies should increase sample sizes to confirm these results.Folia Phoniatr Logop
