Correlations among Scores on WISC-R and Woodcock-Johnson Achievement Tests for Learning Disabled Children

Pearson correlations between standard scores on the WISC-R and Woodcock-Johnson tests for 77 learning disabled subjects ( M age = 9.5 yr.) showed Reading, Mathematics, and Written Language scores were positively and significantly related to the Verbal subtest scaled scores and Verbal IQs. Scores on Reading and Mathematics were similarly related to the WISC-R Full Scale IQs. The practical significance of these findings is discussed.
