A hypothesis- their school reading lessons aren't being reinforced at home. Maybe their parents are too busy to do that reinforcement, working long hours, etc. Or there's a housing stability issue that lower income families often encounter.

How are the other 22% of low income fourth graders able to read?

Moreover they aren't being taught vocabulary or to decode text at school so they're going to be pretty hopeless without parental instruction.
