This study analyzes 220 free-writing responses of students. A high correlation exists among the scoring by the investigation team and two reliability correlation teams. (The criterion style sheet is included as "Appendix A.") / Each skill needed is tested for statistical significance between and among grade level means for frequency of need and percentage of correct use. The skills are ranked by grade level means for each of the two categories in three groups: combined capitalization and punctuation skills, only capitalization skills, and only punctuation skills. A sequence of skills is identified from those skills for which there are sufficient data for one-way analyses among grade levels and which also occur across grade levels in the top halves of the ranked grade level means for frequency of need. / Persons for whom this research may hold the greatest interest are persons who share in the responsibilities for curriculum development and evaluation in the areas of capitalization and punctuation, but who do not have the privilege of direct contact with students. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 45-11, Section: A, page: 3272. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
