OVST latency and accuracy were entered into separate regression analyses as predictors of end of year scores on reading fluency and spelling measures. Predictors in each model included an autoregressor (i.e., pretest scores on the reading or spelling measures) and time 1 and time 2 OVST measures from searches with trained targets in visually confusable arrays. Beta values (β) and semi-partial correlation coefficients (r) are presented for each predictor within each model
