^†Woodcock-Johnson-III (WJ-III) Word Attack standard scores. In addition, correlations ranging between .49 and .71 were found between cortical thickness, surface area, and gray matter volume in the left MTG and WJ-III Letter-Word Identification standard scores. Critical r values at α = .05 were: .70 (n = 8), .51 (n = 15), and .41 (n = 23).
