Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? Monroe Rate correlated 0.10 ± 0.11 with Reading Ability T and 0.16 with the weighted Reading Ability C criterion. → Wyman 1921

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Grade VIII reading study: the rate subtest of the Monroe Silent Reading Test correlated +0.10 ± 0.11 with the teachers' criterion, the lowest of all tests administered, and 0.16 with the weighted-combination criterion. No standardised effect size is printed for this contrast, so no magnitude is coded.

"Rate of Reading cannot be considered a test of reading at all in so far as our criteria measure reading ability."
