Longitudinal growth curve analysis of 81 bilingual Head Start children; second-stage models used estimated language growth parameters to predict first-grade Woodcock reading outcomes. The study reports that "children's oral comprehension as measured by the auditory comprehension subtest of the TELD-3 positively predicted children's letter-word identification" and that PPVT-III growth also predicted both English outcomes.

"children's oral comprehension as measured by the auditory comprehension subtest of the TELD-3 positively predicted children's letter-word identification (t = 17.50, p ≤ 0.0125) and passage comprehension (t = 15.39, p ≤ 0.0125) abilities. Similarly, children's growth in English receptive vocabulary as measured by the PPVT-III positively predicted children's letter-word identification (t = 15.87, p ≤ 0.0125) and passage comprehension (t = 14.37, p ≤ 0.0125)."
