Note: The coefficients above the diagonal are for the group of good readers, and the coefficients below the diagonalare for the group of poor readers. All the variables were regressed by IQ and age. RSN_D = Rapid Serial Naming of Digits; RSN_L = Rapid Serial Naming of letters; WA = Word Reading Accuracy; WU = Word Unitization; SS =Spelling Skills; PWR = Pseudoword Repetition; PA = Phonological Awareness; OP = Orthographic Processing; ORF = Oral Reading Fluency; PWA = Pseudoword Reading Accuracy.
