Kender, Joseph P.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v18 n7 p379-83 Aug-Sep 1985

Analysis of recategorized WAIS-R scores suggested that, as a group, the underachieving readers exhibited a pattern different from that of genetic dyslexic Ss and different from that of reading and learning disabled Ss.
