The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS),conducted by IEA,is a large international comparative study of the reading literacy of young students.Reading literacy is one of the most important abilities students acquire as they progress through their early school years.It is the foundation for learning across all subjects,it can be used for recreation and for personal growth,and it equips young children with the ability to participate fully in their communities and the larger society.This paper describes the definition of reading literacy and the three aspects of reading literacy:processes of comprehension;purpose for reading;and reading behaviors and attitudes,and it also shows how the samples are designed and the ways the PIRLS study are conducted.
