IMPROVING PIRLS RESULTS IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS: STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING READING LITERACY
Abstract
This article examines effective strategies for improving Reading Literacy in primary education through the lens of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS). The research analyzes current approaches to reading instruction, identifies key factors influencing PIRLS performance, and proposes evidence-based interventions to enhance reading literacy outcomes. The literature review reveals that balanced literacy approaches, intensive teacher professional development, parental involvement, and culturally responsive teaching materials significantly impact reading proficiency.
