Willows, Dale – Education Canada, 2008
How children feel about school and about themselves in the early years can set the stage for their future success in school and in life. Learning to read and write in those early years is pivotal: children who are not successful by the end of grade three have little chance of ever becoming fully literate. This failure diminishes their chances of…

Wilkinson, Ian; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1988
Data from a study on silent classroom reading with 105 learning disabled students (aged 6-12 years) are reanalyzed using linear structural equation modeling. It appears that, when entry-level abilities are controlled, silent reading did not have a significant effect on posttest reading performance. (TJH)
