Abstract
100 reading disability cases which were treated by a regular mental hygiene clinic procedure were studied to see what were the correlates of reading gains over the period of a year. It was found that significant coefficients of correlation existed between reading gains made during the year and (1) the amount and quality of remedial reading tutoring afforded the child; (2) the intelligence rating of the child; (3) the severity of the psychiatric diagnosis; and (4) the child's age at the time the reading disability was diagnosed. Both educational and emotional factors seem to be of vital importance in the etiology and the most effective attack on them must be made on a concerted educational-emotional basis.
