Reading, self-esteem, auding, and verbal language levels were measured for 132 youths and adults entering a tutorial program. Results showed that the subjects had low levels of auding, verbal language, and reading, but self-esteem was not significantly related to the other variables. Auding and verbal language skills were shown to be important to reading. (Author/SK)
