The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between auditory discrimination, as measured by the Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test, and reading achievement, as measured by the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests. Subjects were 136 adolescents ranging in age from 12 years 2 months to 17 years 9 months. Controlling for intelligence, partial correlation coefficients were calculated for the total sample, as well as for retarded and non-retarded subsamples. In addition, partial correlation coefficients were calculated for subsamples determined according to sex, race and age. Based on the low correlation coefficients obtained, the authors concluded that there is little more than a random relationship between performance on the Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test and reading achievement when one controls for intelligence. Implications of the results were discussed.
