Environmental factors such as ambient lighting, temperature,

comfort, and complexity of the material affects reading greatly.

Intrinsic factors such as regression, eye movement, and

number of words per fixation also affects reading. It all depends

on numerous factors that weigh into whether someone can

read well or not.

Socio-economic status, schooling, whether or not a child has

siblings and the mother's education level all can negatively or

positively influence motor development in children.

Children from low-income families performed more poorly onthe reading skill, brain asymmetry had similar effects across

income levels.
