| Summary: | To investigate the underlying factors of visual discrimination, memory, rule abstraction, language, and serial ordering in reading success, 79 poor and 65 good deaf readers were administered a battery of tests. Poor readers were deficient in lower-order visual discrimination and memory abilities; higher-order visual discrimination skills were important to success for good readers. Higher-order rule abstraction skills were important for continued progress by the relatively successful readers; however, lower-order rule abstraction was important to successful visual discrimination at initial levels of reading for poor readers as well. Successful rule abstraction was significant at all levels of reading; and visual discrimination (visual search and sequencing) was significant to the advanced reader for the processing of higher-level printed text. Implications were that rule abstraction is important at all levels of the reading process, visual discrimination activities at prereading and higher reading levels should be re-evaluated, and investigation is needed to determine sentence structures that are obstacles to progress beyond intermediate levels of reading.
