This table represents the results for regressions of life satisfaction (on a 0-10 scale) on early reading and math skills (in SD). We control in the regression for income and daily functioning. Unreported controls are intelligence and sex. Robust standard errors are in parentheses. ***p< .01, **p< .05, *p< .1. 186
