Note. Submodels were not run for nonshared environment because none of the bivariate relationships presented in Tables 4 and 5 was significant. A1, A2, A3, C1, C2, C3 refer to factors displayed in Figure 1. PA = phonological awareness; RAN = rapid automatized naming; Word ID (or WID) = word identification; Gen = genetic; PD = phonological decoding; resid = residual.
