A study comparing monozygotic and dizygotic twins shows that good teachers can make a kid read to her entire potential, so the heritability of reading ability in their classrooms is 100%.* Bad teachers, on the other hand, can keep kids from reaching their potential, leaving a smaller heritability factor.
