Predicting Growth in Reading Ability from Children's Exposure to Print.

Cipielewski, Jim; Stanovich, Keith E.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v54 n1 p74-89 Aug 1992

Fourth and fifth graders marked on a checklist the titles and authors of children's books which they recognized. This measure of exposure to print was correlated with children's growth in reading ability as measured by standardized tests. Individual differences in growth in reading were significantly related to the measure. (BC)
