Discussion characterization of the UPC group (n = 216) defined by regressing SRI comprehension onto decoding and word recognition measures. The group is described as fitting the Simple View of Reading, with poor comprehension driven by poor language comprehension.

"The sample of subjects with UPC in our study had average to above average word-level reading skills, but performed poorly on reading comprehension, on average one to two standard deviations below developmental expectations."
