“…Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) often have difficulty in acquiring early literacy skills (e.g., Katims, 2001). Although the reading skills of this population vary from inability to read to word reading capability (e.g., Ratz & Lenhard, 2013), most individuals with ID are able to read and comprehend words as their age increases (Jones, Long, & Finlay, 2006;Lemons, Zigmond, Kloo, Hill, Mrachko, Paterra et al, 2013). Several skills have been shown to be strongly related to the development of word reading skills in children with ID: phonological awareness (Allor, Mathes, Roberts, Cheatham, & Champlin, 2010), letter-sound knowledge (Dessemontet & de Chambrier, 2015), picture naming (Soltani & Roslan, 2013), and temporal processing (van Wingerden, Segersa, van Balkom, & Verhoeven, 2016).…”
