Longitudinal Stability and Growth in Literacy and Numeracy in Australian School Students.

Behavior genetics - 1 Sept 2016

Grasby Katrina L, Coventry William L

Abstract excerpt

We explored the genetic and environmental influence on both stability and growth in literacy and numeracy in 1927 Australian twin pairs from Grade 3 to Grade 9. Participants were tested on reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation, writing, and numeracy. In each domain, performance across time was highly correlated and this stability in performance was primary due to genes. Key findings on growth showed that...
