Prediction of Reading Disability from Familial and Individual Differences.

Scarborough, Hollis S.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v81 n1 p101-08 Mar 1989

Familial/individual predictor variables related to reading disability were assessed, using 66 lower-to-upper-middle-class second graders. Subjects were evaluated as preschoolers, at age 60 months, and at the end of grade 2. Familial reading problems and individual differences in vocabulary, phonological awareness, and early literacy skills were the most influential variables. (TJH)
