This study aimed to examine the relationship between the components of attentional control, phonological awareness, and working memory with reading. 209 students (109 females and 150 males with the mean age of 9 years) completed Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test, digit span subscale of WISC-IV, Reading Test, and Phonological Awareness Test. Using path analysis, the components of focus, response inhibition (prudence), vigilance, processing speed showed statistically direct effect on reading. The direct effect of phonological awareness on reading was statistically significant. Also, the effect of working memory on reading was not significant. The results could help to understand the roles of attentional control components in predicting reading ability.
