Abstract

Third-grade boys whose mean age was 8 years 9 months were given 3 perceptual tests as well as tests of intelligence and reading comprehension. 2 of the perceptual tests were found to be significant independent predictors of reading scores. The findings of this study, together with the results of related investigations, indicate that visual perceptual abilities decline in importance from third to fourth grade, while general intelligence and auditory and/or cross-modal perceptual abilities become more important in relation to individual differences in reading ability as the child moves from third to fourth grade.
