Specific reading retardation was found to occur in a minimum of 9.9 per cent of ten-year-old `indigenous' children in one inner London borough. This rate was nearly three times that (3.9 per cent) in Isle of Wight children. There was a comparably higher rate of general reading backwardness in London (19.0 per cent vs 8.3 per cent). Since the same epidemiological methods were followed in the two areas, and since the reading-retarded children had similar psychological characteristics in both cases, it is concluded that there is a real difference between London and the Isle of Wight in the prevalence of reading retardation and of reading backwardness.
