Abstract
Children's early competency in speech, language, and pre-literacy (e.g., phonological awareness, letter-sound knowledge) predicts children's communicative, social, andacademic success. The Sound Start Study is a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) with three aims:
1. To determine whether a software program, Phoneme Factory SoundSorter® improves the speech and phonological awareness abilities of pre-schoolers with speech sound disorders when undertaken in early childhood education settings
2. To determine the relationship between children's speech errors, pre-literacy, and phonological processing skills
3. To explore which child- and family-related variables are positively or negatively associated with the rate of change in speech production and pre-literacy status.
