Figure 1.

Longitudinal model showing predictive relationships between speech perception at age 5½ years and reading at 6½ years (standardized coefficients for the at‐risk group outside the brackets and standardized coefficients for the control group inside the brackets). All coefficients are significant p < 0.05 with the exception of the one marked as ns (not significant). Ellipses represent latent variables, rectangles represent observed variables. One‐headed arrows represent regressions, factor loadings (from latent variables to its observed indicators) or residual variances (from a number). Double‐headed arrows represent correlations
