Matthew Effects in Reading: Some Consequences of Individual Differences in the the Acquisition of Literacy.

Stanovich, Keith E.

Reading Research Quarterly, v21 n4 p360-407 Fall 1986

Presents a framework for conceptualizing development of individual differences in reading ability that emphasizes the effects of reading on cognitive development and on "bootstrapping" relationships involving reading. Uses the framework to explicate some persisting problems in the literature on reading disability and to conceptualize remediation efforts in reading. (HTH)
