Systematic review of all of the research on PIRLS

Research Centre News

Jamie Stiff and colleagues have looked at the 221 academic publications on the Progress in International Reading Study, the world’s largest reading assessment.  They found that:

  • Most articles used PIRLS data for secondary data analysis.
  • Research related to attainment gaps has increased since 2015.
  • 20% of articles were critiques of PIRLS constructs and/or procedures.
  • PIRLS remains underutilised for researching reading literacy.
