Introduction: Developmental dyslexia is a neurobiological disorder with a heterogeneous profile that is diagnosed after verifying that a child has not learned to read as expected. Its detection, before the beginning of the reading instruction, tends to be imprecise. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify and assess which psycholinguistic skills, assessed before formal reading instruction, can predict later reading difficulties and guide early intervention. Method: A systematic review (years 2010-2020) was carried out following the PRISMA statement in the PsycINFO, Medline, Web of Science, Eric and SCOPUS databases. Results: 42 studies were selected that confirm that certain psycholinguistic skills are relevant to predict reading success. Conclusions: Phonological awareness, naming speed, alphabet knowledge, and phonological memory strongly correlate with early reading progress and predict later reading skills and developmental dyslexia.
