Early Reading Acquisition and Its Relation to Reading Experience and Ability 10 Years Later.
Cunningham, Anne E.; Stanovich, Keith E.
Developmental Psychology, v33 n6 p934-45 Nov 1997
Studied reading comprehension, vocabulary, general knowledge, and print exposure of 11th graders who completed reading battery 10 years earlier. Found that first-grade reading ability predicted all 11th-grade outcomes--even when cognitive ability was partialed out--and was linked to print exposure, even after 11th-grade reading comprehension ability was partialed out. Print exposure predicted reading comprehension growth. (Author/KB)
