Identifying Pathways Between Socioeconomic Status and Language Development (2017, background): “One study showed that children’s general knowledge at the entrance to kindergarten was a stronger predictor of reading skills at fifth grade than their early reading scores (Grissmer et al. 2010).”
How Are Motor Skills Linked to Children's School Performance and Academic Achievement? (2016, unknown): “Corroborating the growing number of studies suggesting the importance of visuomotor integration (2, 3, 7), another study (26) used 18 subtests to identify visual processing and fine manual control as the two latent skills responsible for”
Behavioral self-regulation and executive function both predict visuomotor skills and early academic achievement (2014, methodology): “These studies are useful in furthering our understanding of the unique predictability of behavioral SR, EF, and VMS on children’s achievement, but are also limited because they used observer-rated EF (Grissmer et al. 2010), or used a single direct assessment of behavioral SR (Cameron et al., 2012).”

Handwriting in early childhood education: Current research and future implications (2015, unknown): “Quickly becoming recognized as important school readiness skills (Dinehart and Manfra, 2013; Grissmer et al., 2010; Son and Meisels, 2006), examining how best to improve ﬁne motor writing skills and handwriting readiness in the years before children enter school may be critical to improving…”
Associations Between Low-Income Children's Fine Motor Skills in Preschool and Academic Performance in Second Grade (2013, methodology): “Grissmer et al. (2010) reported that the copying eight designs task of the British Cohort Study was a stronger predictor of outcome than other fine motor tasks.”
Theory of Mind: a Hidden Factor in Reading Comprehension? (2018, background): “Not surprisingly, decoding (e.g., Chen and Vellutino 1997; Hoover and Gough 1990; Kendeou et al. 2009), background knowledge (e.g., Grissmer et al. 2010), linguistic ability (e.g., Ouellette and Beers 2010), reading fluency (e.g., Kim et al. 2012), vocabulary (e.g., Ouellette 2006),…”
