Evidence¶

Monroe 1917¶

Monroe, W. S. (1917). A report on the use of the Kansas Silent Reading Tests with over one hundred thousand children. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://eric.ed.gov/?q=Kansas+Silent+Reading+Tests

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Comparison of medians printed in Table I, based on more than 100,000 scores grouped by state sections. The report adds the South Atlantic medians are based almost entirely on reports from one large southern city, which may account for their low position.

"It is interesting to note that the median scores for Iowa are conspicuously above the total medians and the Kansas medians."
