Descriptive statistics and histograms for P-O-S-E(c) test scores reported at percent correct and percent error (present P-O-S-E(c) format) scores (N=275)  for the Grade 3  population,  Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District, academic year 2006-7.

5.

Comprehensive tabular distributions of P-O-S-E(c) vowel substitution responses for 33,000 individual test item morphemes. Data tables are organized with short vowel items (CVC, CCVCC)  on the left and silent /e/ long vowel items (CVC/e/) on the right. Using designators S for Spelling items, R for Reading items, n for non-word items and r for real word items, the successive series of tabular outcome distributions is as follows:  a) SRnr; b. Snr; c. Rnr; d. nSR; e. rSR; f. SR (Cross check); g. nr (Cross-check); h. Sn; i. Sr; j. Rn; k. Rr; l. SRnr (cross - check).

b) Summary table of errors on each of the short vowels and silent /e/ long vowels. ​

c) Summary table of percent correct and percent errors on the four sub-tests (Sn), (Sr),​(Rn),(Rr).
