65 Response to phonics through spelling intervention 3 spelling, while afterward these mean scores were above the 10th percentile on all three measures. Furthermore, raw scores and age-based standardized scores are reported for all the predictor measures. Finally, the change scores and change scores per session were calculated. Both requirements as reported by Gollwitzer and colleagues (2014) were met since the standard deviations had increased after the intervention and the differences scores were all positive and thus non-zero. Reading and spelling boxplots before and after the phonics through spelling intervention can be seen in Figure 3.1.
