A Reading Level Match Study of Nonword Reading Skills in Poor Readers with Varying IQ.

Felton, Rebecca H.; Wood, Frank B.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v25 n5 p318-26 May 1992

This study, with 93 third grade poor readers, 54 fifth grade poor readers (with and without reading/IQ discrepancies), and 147 nondisabled first graders, found poor readers significantly more impaired than the matched first graders on all measures of nonword reading thus supporting the hypothesis of a deficit in nonword reading skills not explained by verbal intelligence.
