(WJ-III Writing Samples)

Note. Values (unless otherwise indicated) are mean (SD) for BRIEF or WJ-III subscale/subtest scores. df for F-tests is (2,111) for BRIEF subtests, (2,109) for WJ-III Calculation, (2,108) for Basic Reading, and (2,103) for WJ-III Writing Samples. N’s are for entire sample. Values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05) between LEAF Interpretation Ranges.
