1.
ATTENT=Attention score.
2.
REPEAT=Repeated a grade (1=yes, 2=no).
3.
SPECED=Participation in special education program (1=yes, 2=no).
4.
TUTOR=Receiving extra help or tutoring (1=yes, 2=no).
5.
OVERL=how doing overall (1=very poorly/5=very well).
6.
READG=how doing in reading (1=very poorly/5=very well).
7.
WRITG=how doing in written work (1=very poorly/5=very well).
8.
MATH=how doing in mathematics (1=very poorly/5=very well).
9.
MATHSC=Mathematics test score.
10.
Correlation coefficient differs significantly and substantively from 0.
Note(s):
For grade 3, sample n ranged from 446 to 512. For grade 4, sample n ranged from 2561 to 2798. Statistical significance of correlation coefficients: p<0.001. Substantive correlation coefficients are defined as r >= 0.22 (r2 = 0.05).
