Abstract
The neuropsychological functioning and home environment of early readers was investigated. To 21 early readers attending preschools matched for age and intelligence with 21 controls (nonreaders), a neuropsychological test battery was administered. Home environment was assessed by administering a brief questionnaire to parents. Although it had been hypothesized that early readers would be superior to controls on tests believed to be sensitive to left posterior hemisphere functioning, the early readers in this study demonstrated superior functioning only on the left frontal measure and on right hemisphere measures. The only environmental factor that significantly differentiated the two groups was that the early readers had been read to more frequently than the control group children. The implications of these findings and their possible educational significance are discussed.
