Peer reviewedPrasse, David P.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Findings revealed that 63 learning disabled students scored significantly lower than 30 regular education students (both groups 6-15 years old) on all reading measures. Existing differences in the reading ability level between the two groups did not solely account for the obtained difference in reading achievement. (Author/CL)

Peer reviewedJohnson, Mark E.; Fisher, Dennis G.; Rhodes, Fen; Booth, Robert – Assessment, 1996
The Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised and the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests-Revised were administered twice to 269 current drug abusers over an average time interval of 204.2 days. Overall, the study demonstrates that the two instruments have strong psychometric properties and that results from current drug abusers are reliable. (SLD)
