In fact in third grade reading accuracy and reading comprehension begin to split in measures of overall reading. Decoding skills predict reading accuracy while oral language skills (defined as vocabulary and background knowledge) explain the variance in comprehension scores (Storch and Whitehurst, 2002). | In fact in third grade reading accuracy and reading comprehension begin to split in measures of overall reading.
