Commentary:
Year 8 students
read the movie price and time table with more accuracy than year 4 students
(47 percent compared with 9 percent obtaining a score of 9 or 10 correct).
Year 8 students were particularly more successful at providing the full
details of times (e.g. “Thursday, after 5pm”) rather than
partial details (e.g. “Thursday”).
