Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Language acquisition is predictive of successful reading development, but the nature of this link is poorly understood. METHOD: A sample of 7,179 twin pairs was assessed on parent-report measures of syntax and vocabulary at ages 2, 3, and 4 years and on teacher assessments of reading achievement (RA) at ages 7, 9, and 10 years. These measures were used to construct latent factors of early language...
