Relative Reading Achievement: A Longitudinal Study of 187 Children from First through Sixth Grades.
Phillips, Linda M.; Norris, Stephen P.; Osmond, Wendy C.; Maynard, Agnes M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v94 n1 p3-13 Mar 2002
Reports on results of a longitudinal study of relative reading achievement of 87 boys and 100 girls from 1st through 6th grades. There was a systematic relationship between gender and reading categorization in Grades 1-3, but not Grades 4-6. Implications include a case for early reading intervention and for reconsideration of the view that relative reading achievement is immutable. (Author)
