The differences in amount of both in-class and out-of-class reading done by good and poor readers is enormous, and this practice difference creates what has been termed "The Matthew Effect." This is actually a biblical term, and it refers to this: those who have a good amount of early reading skill tend to read a lot and acquire even more reading skill, while those with less skill, particularly at the early stages of learning to read, tend to acquire less and less skill over the same period of time. These practice differences between children who learn to read quickly vs. those who learn more slowly eventually produce very large differences in reading skill, word knowledge, and comprehension skills between the groups. Stanovich, 1986. Have you ever seen examples of "The Matthew Effect"? Describe.
