Sources of Individual Differences in Reading Acquisition.

Share, David L.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1309-24 Dec 1984

Several individual attributes covering prereading and oral language abilities, motor skills, personality, and home background were assessed. The best predictors of reading achievement were tasks tapping phonological processing skills, interdigital dexterity, and familiarity with the alphabetic code of English script. Peer ability was a strong predictor of reading achievement. (Author/DWH)
