Second-stage growth curve models predicting Spanish reading outcomes from Spanish language growth in the same 81-child longitudinal sample. The article reports that "growth of the children's Spanish receptive vocabulary as measured by the TVIP positively predicted children's Spanish first grade letter-word identification" and passage comprehension, and notes group differences were not observed for these effects.

"Children's growth in their Spanish oral comprehension as measured by the PLS-3 positively predicted first grade Spanish letter-word identification (t = 7.58, p ≤ 0.0125) and passage comprehension abilities (t = 5.36, p ≤ 0.0125; see Table 5). In addition, growth of the children's Spanish receptive vocabulary as measured by the TVIP positively predicted children's Spanish first grade letter-word identification (t = 6.91, p ≤ 0.0125) and Spanish passage comprehension (t = 5.85, p ≤ 0.0125) abilities."
