Progress In International Reading Literacy Study…

is out. This report is a whopping 400 plus pages in size and over 60 megabytes in size. The report looks at only 4th grade reading scores in the USA and a bunch of other countries from around the world mainly in Europe.

The report compares 2006 scores to the last time the test was given out in 2001.

USA scores remained flat over the time period and were around the same score as 12 other counties.

They did include questions from the exam, the answers to the exam, and how each country did on each question. I always love to see this.
