Commentary:
The results show very little change in reading for year 8 students between 1996 and 2000. For year 4 students, however, a dramatic improvement is evident. The percentage of year 4 students in the highest band has doubled (from 11 to 24) and the percentage of year 4 students in the lowest band has halved (from 15 to 7).
