PIRLS 2011 Encyclopedia, Education Policy and Curriculum in Reading

The PIRLS 2011 Encyclopedia is a valuable compendium of how reading is taught around the world. Each PIRLS 2011 country and benchmarking participant prepared a chapter summarizing the structure of its education system, the language and reading curriculum in the primary grades, and overall policies related to reading instruction (e.g., teacher education, materials, and assessment). The chapters were prepared from each country’s viewpoint, written primarily by experts from ministries of education, research institutes, or institutions of higher education with extensive knowledge about their country’s education system. Taken together, the chapters present a concise yet rich portrait of reading curricula and instruction around the world, and make the PIRLS 2011 Encyclopedia an indispensable resource for policy and research in comparative education.
