S ummary . A three‐year follow‐up of a sample of 407 white boys entering urban Catholic schools in Perth is reported. The children were given a series of eight tests previously shown to predict subsequent reading performance. Using discriminant analysis, it was shown that 75 per cent of children identified as having a high risk of reading failure showed severe or mild symptoms of such failure in terms of reading comprehension in the third year of schooling
