The Relationship between Attitude Toward Reading and Reading Achievement.

Swanson, Beverly

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n4 p1303-04 Win 1982

The scores of a sample of 116 first-grade rural Georgia pupils from a reading attitude inventory were correlated .18 with the reading composite scores on the Metropolitan Achievement Test. Coefficients of .48 and .32 were found for females and blacks respectively. The low degree of correspondences limited practical significance. (Author/PN)
