Peer reviewedJohnson, Charles D.; Crano, William D. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1978
This study reports the results of a program focused on the amelioration of reading comprehension deficits in a sample of rural children. The results suggest that spatial skills operate causally on subsequent verbal acquisitions, and may be central to remediation of reading difficulties in children of low socioeconomic status.

Furthermore, the left hemisphere seems to…
