Table A2.

A 2 × 2 Contingency Table for Optimal Uppercase Benchmark

Uppercase letter-naming benchmark (18) Letter-Word Identification
At risk Not at risk
Does not meet (fail) 38 113
Meets (pass) 14 204

Note. Using Table A2, sensitivity for the uppercase letter benchmark is calculated with 38/(38 + 14) = .73; specificity is 204/(113 + 204) = .64; positive predictive power is 38/(38 + 113) = .25; and negative predictive power is 204/(14 + 204) = .94.
