Literacy skills – decoding, reading comprehension and spelling – are an integral
part of today’s world and it is necessary for people to acquire them on an adequate level if they
wish to participate actively in society. This does not always happen, however. In practice, we
try to prevent the formation of literacy defi cits or to at least mitigate their manifestation. Much
attention in research is paid to the study of literacy as such, its development and its disorders,
and, last but not least, to the potential ways of predicting these disorders. Early detection of
individuals who are at risk paves the way for early interventions, thus minimizing the manifestation of problems. Each individual research study is highly specifi c because it depends greatly
on how its authors handle the given topic. This paper provides an overview of variability in
various areas of the study of the development of literacy skills, literacy defi cits and prediction
models, including examples of larger meta-analytic research studies which attempt to settle
this variability
