Abstract
In 1962 30 children were administered Form W of the California Reading Test during their first day at a reading clinic. Form X was administered on the final day of the clinic. Ten additional variables were correlated with the improvement noted. Significant relationships were noted between reading improvement and total percentile on the Mental Health Analysis ( r = .46, p = .01) and WISC Verbal IQ ( r = .44, p = .05). With these results in mind, a greater emphasis was placed on utilizing non-verbal abilities and upon improving mental health in the 1963 clinic. This time the only significant variable was WISC Performance IQ ( r = .33, p = .05).Keywords
