Abstract
The present study found that children’s difficulties in solving arithmetic word problems lay more in the decoding process (translating the word problems into equations) than in the computation process. Furthermore, this word problem decoding skill uniquely predicted later arithmetic computation, on top of the effect of previous arithmetic computation.
