Evaluation

No group was any different than the other in their reading levels. No, Our hypothesis wasn't supported.

Summary of findings

We found that the groups weren't that different apart to decide a signifigance. Children who have more encouragement aren't any better readers than children who have less encouragment. This will apply to the real world because you shouldn't assume that the more encouragement the better reader.

Conclusion

I would of just looked at their reading level to make things much easier and quicker. Then I'd ask adults the same question but It'll be Adults vs. Kids.
