Analyzing the Development of Individual Differences in Terms of Matthew Effects in Reading: Results from a Dutch Longitudinal Study.
Bast, Janwillem; Reitsma, Pieter
Developmental Psychology, v34 n6 p1373-99 Nov 1998
Tested the hypothesis that individual differences in reading ability increase over time, by assessing children, at seven occasions between kindergarten and third grade, on various measures of reading ability, reading behavior, and attitudes toward reading. Found that individual differences among children in word recognition, but not reading comprehension, increased over the period of the study. (BC)
