Factors Associated with Improvement in Severe Reading Disability

Safer, Daniel J.; Allen, Richard P.

Psychology in the Schools, 10, 1, 110-18, Jan 73

The data from this study indicate that the best predictor of reading improvement is IQ and that the only significant aspect of IQ in this respect is verbal IQ. The high correlation between percent below reading level and both age at referral and IQ suggests that percent below reading level is a predictor of secondary importance to these other factors.
