Trait Description Tests      
WRF Word reading fluency DMT DMT EMT EMT

Abbreviations: BG2, beginning grade 2; EG2, end grade 2; MG3, middle grade 3; G6, grade 6; Na, sample size for analysis regarding mean parental education (scale of 1–5, where 1=primary education, 5=university degree).

The acronym and description for each trait of interest is indicated, together with the name of the test that has been used to measure it in each time-point. DMT and EMT: word reading fluency tests; Klepel: nonword reading fluency test; RANdig: rapid naming of digits test; PD1, PD2, and PDAKT: phoneme deletion tests. ‘–' indicates an absence of measurement at that time-point.
