Psycholinguistic Performance of Children Varying in Socioeconomic Status and Home-Language Background

Abstract
60 second-grade children varying in socioeconomic status and home-language background (30 Greek, 30 English) were administered Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, and the Neale Analysis of Reading Ability. English verbal deficits were associated with delayed reading achievement only for native English speakers.
