Significance levels given for one-tailed tests.
r = bivariate Pearson coefficient; PBK-p = percentage of phonemes correct; PBK-w = percentage of words correct; Nonword repetition = mean accuracy rating from the nonword repetition subtest of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests-Revised35; Mrate = mean sentence utterance length on McGarr sentences.
