Method: SLTs (n = 28) and general education teachers (n = 25) participated in this study. Participants completed a self-assessment of their own skill level for providing early reading and writing instruction and an objective measure of their knowledge of early reading and writing skills. Results: There was a significant difference between groups in self-assessment of current skill for delivering early reading and writing instruction; SLTs rated their own current skill as lower than teachers rated their own current skill. There was not a significant difference in knowledge of early reading and writing skills between SLTs and teachers. Conclusions: SLTs and teachers can benefit from continued professional development related to providing evidence-based reading and writing instruction. Because of their different perceptions of their own skills, professional development may need to be approached differently for SLTs and teachers. Future research will examine specific areas of knowledge strength and weakness for SLTs and teachers.  \nKeywords  \nprofessional education, educator knowledge, language impairment, speech-language pathology, reading  \nAmong the two thirds of American children who fail to achieve reading and writing proficiency are children with reading disabilities (U. S. Department of Education, 2015) . Many children with reading disabilities experience early spoken language deficits (e.g. Catts, 1991) .

RTI was designed to prevent reading disabilities in at-risk children through (a) universal screening to identify at-risk children, (b) continuous progress monitoring to ensure adequate growth, and (c) “tiers” of increasingly intense instruction and intervention (Vaughn and Fuchs, 2003) . The specifics of implementation vary considerably across contexts (Fletcher and Vaughn, 2009), but “tier 1” typically is high-quality general classroom instruction, “tier 2” typically is small-group standardized intervention, and “tier 3” typically is specialized intervention delivered through special education (Vaughn and Fuchs, 2003) .  \nWithin the RTI model, multiple professionals such as general education teachers, special education teachers, and SLTs share responsibility for providing high-quality evidence-based reading and writing instruction and intervention.
