title: The relationship between ocular functions and reading achievement.
abstract: Students in grades 1 through 6 were assessed on 11 ocular functions. A multivariate correlation was made between these ocular functions and the students' reading ability, as measured on the Stanford Achievement Test. There were no significant multivariate correlations between the ocular functions and the students' reading ability. It was concluded that for students with small heterophorias and no significant refractive errors, a relationship did not exist between ocular functions and reading ability.
