WJ–III RC, WJ–III WA, and WJ–III LWID refer to the Woodcock-Johnson III, Reading Comprehension, Word Attack, and Letter-Word Identification subtests, respectively. TOWRE Words and TOWRE Pseudowords refer to the Test of Word Reading Efficiency Sight Word and Pseudoword subtests, respectively. Time 1 and Time 2 indicate assessments at baseline (concurrent with MEG testing) and at the one year follow up (post intervention). AR = Adequate Responders; FSIQ = Full-scale IQ; IR = Inadequate Responders; MEG = magnetoencephalography; NI = Non-impaired; VIQ = Verbal IQ; PIQ = Performance IQ.
