International Results in Reading from PIRLS and ePIRLS 2016

On March 15, 2018 the American Institutes for Research hosted a presentation and discussion focusing on the latest international results in reading from PIRLS and ePIRLS 2016. In 2016, IEA and its TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center at Boston College conducted the fourth assessment in the PIRLS series as well as the inaugural ePIRLS assessment of online informational reading. Administered every five years, PIRLS monitors international trends in reading achievement at the fourth grade. In 2016, a total of 319,000 students from 61 international education systems participated in the PIRLS assessment.

This presentation is based on the PIRLS 2016 International Results in Reading report and utilizes infographics and exhibits to describe the following:

  • Achievement trends over time
  • Performance at the PIRLS International Benchmarks
  • Achievement in relation to students’ home, school, and classroom educational contexts

Registrants were given the opportunity to submit questions to be answered by the panelists during the webinar.
