Abstract

The convenient and popular "years below grade" formula conventionally used to define reading disability operates in an irregular manner and gives a picture of "disability" which is difficult to distinquish from normal variation in human ability. It also causes the prevalence of reading disorders to appear larger as years of schooling increase. Other measures give a more conservative estimate of the prevalence of disability and they may be more significant.
