  1. PVRCLI, PVRCUN, and PVRCER are the cognitive process subscales, and PVRTSN, and PVRTML are the text structure subscales in reading
  2. PVREAD Overall reading performance, PVRCLI Locating information, PVRCUN Understanding, PVRCER Evaluating and reflecting, PVRTSN Reading single text, PVRTML Reading multiple text
  3. a Indicates scores significantly higher than other assessment subscales
