Note. Phonological Awareness = average standard score of Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing Blending Phonemes and Elision; CELF = Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals— 4; USP = Understanding Spoken Paragraphs; KBIT = Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test—2; Basic Reading = Woodcock-Johnson III composite of Word Identification and Word Attack (untimed decoding); TOWRE = Test of Word Reading Efficiency (timed decoding); CMERS = Continuous Monitoring of Early Reading Skills (passage fluency). Standard scores (M = 100; SD = 15) used except for timed tests, which are targets per second.
