Relation of Visual and Motor Perception to Reading Achievement among Children with One Year of Study in School.
Wright, Julia Ann
A stratified random sample of 70 pupils was selected from 261 children from three elementary schools, who had completed one year of formal reading instruction. To investigate whether visual discrimination or visual-motor development was more closely related to reading achievement, tests of reading achievement, intelligence, visual-motor abilities, and visual discrimination were administered. Results from a series of correlation, multiple regression, and factor analyses indicated that intellectual and visual-motor variables were more closely related to reading achievement than were the measures of visual discrimination.
