http://www.iea.nl/six_subject_reading.html

The study adopted as measures of verbal ability a test of reading comprehension, a brief test of speed of reading, and a brief test of word knowledge. Areas of inquiry for possible predictors of accomplishment in reading were: - out-of-school environment (including home environment, language in home, and exposure to mass media) - availability of reading materials - educational practices and background (including instructional practices, resources and procedures for individualization of instruction, and size and type of school) - the interests and attitudes of the students - acquired study and reading habits - presence of eye, hearing, and speech deficits. The data were collected in 1970–1971.
Key Findings are given as well as major publications and a Link to the Study website.
