Higher Reading Scores for Those Who Read 11 or More Pages Daily

Blue Star for Footnote Significantly different from 2000.
NOTE: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.

  • Fourth-graders who reported reading 11 or more pages daily for school and for homework scored higher than students who read fewer pages daily.
  • A greater percentage of fourth-graders reported reading 11 or more pages daily for school and for homework in 2000 than in 1994 and in 1992.
The NAEP 2000 reading assessment included background questions that asked students about their reading experiences at home and at school. While the findings may suggest a positive or negative relationship between performance on the reading assessment and certain activities, it is important to remember that such relationships are not necessarily causal--there may be diverse factors that play a role in reading ability.

See the results for another Home/School factor from the 2000 reading assessment.
