The Genetic and Environmental Foundation of the Simple View of Reading in Chinese. by Connie Suk-Han Ho, Bonnie Wing-Yin Chow, Simpson Wai-Lap Wong, Mary M Y Waye, Dorothy V M Bishop

“…A total of 270 pairs of Chinese twins (190 pairs of monozygotic twins and 80 pairs of same-sex dizygotic twins) were tested on Chinese vocabulary and word reading at the mean age 7.8 years and reading comprehension of sentences and passages one year later. Results of behavior-genetic analyses showed that both vocabulary and word reading had significant independent genetic influences on reading comprehension, and the two factors together accounted for most but not all of the genetic influences on reading comprehension. …”
