Home Contexts

PIRLS has repeatedly shown the importance of home contexts for fostering children’s reading achievement. PIRLS 2021 focuses on two major aspects of the home that have been found to be of particular importance: the environment for learning and the emphasis on children’s literacy skills.

• Environment for Learning

  • Parents Like Reading
  • Language Spoken in the Home
• Emphasis on Literacy
  • Early Literacy Activities
