A total of 73 fifth graders were assessed on character recognition, reading comprehension, reading fluency, phonological processing tasks, semantic skills and syntactic skills. The results of the study showed that: 1.Children of immigrant resident performed significantly less well than Taiwanese children in character recognition, reading comprehension, word semantics, word order and discourse skills. 2.For both immigrant resident and Taiwanese children, conjunction usage, word order and discourse skills were correlated significantly with character recognition; morpheme comprehension, word semantics were correlated significantly with reading comprehension; number naming, color naming were correlated significantly with reading fluency. 3.Syntactic skills predicted reading comprehension even after tasks ofphonological processing were controlled.
