Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze how specific reading subskills affect students’ mathematical achievement. Even though many studies contended that reading abilities are deeply related to students’ mathematical abilities, there is a lack of theoretical or empirical studies regarding which specific reading skills can explain students’ conceptual or procedural math problem-solving abilities. Thus, this study will investigate the relationship between reading and mathematical subskills by applying structural equation modeling.
