Therefore, at fourth grade, by participating in both IEA studies,countries can conduct one comprehensive assessment of the threecore curriculum subjects—reading, mathematics, and science.Extending PIRLS in 2011The fourth year of schooling was chosen as a focal point for PIRLSbecause it is an important transition point in children’s developmentas readers. Typically, at this point, students have learned how to readand are now reading to learn.For a variety of reasons, however, there are countries wheremost children in the fourth grade are still developing fundamentalreading skills. Thus, beginning in 2011, IEA has extended PIRLSto meet the needs of these countries by offering PIRLS at gradelevels beyond fourth grade and by developing a less difficult readingassessment designed to be a stepping stone to PIRLS. Consistent withthe purpose of extending PIRLS or bridging to PIRLS, the newlydeveloped assessment has been named prePIRLS. The prePIRLSassessment follows the same conception of reading literacy as PIRLSoutlined in this publication, but is intended to measure the readingcomprehension skills of students who are still in the process oflearning how to read.PIRLS at the 5th or 6th GradesIn some countries, students are more likely to have developed thereading comprehension competencies necessary for success onPIRLS by the fifth or sixth grade. IEA encourages participation inPIRLS 2011 at the fifth or sixth grade for these countries, becauseparticipation at a higher grade could provide valuable informationabout students’ strengths and weaknesses in reading, whereasparticipation at the fourth grade would provide little informationexcept that the assessment was too difficult.8 | Chapter 1
prePIRLSPIRLS 2011 has been extended to include prePIRLS—an assessmentthat reflects the same conception of reading as PIRLS, except it isless difficult and is designed to test basic reading skills that are aprerequisite for PIRLS. The reading passages are shorter, with easiervocabulary and syntax. Students’ ability to read and answer questionsabout these passages can provide valuable information about theirstrengths and weaknesses in reading comprehension. This newassessment offers an excellent basis for countries with relatively lowlevels of learning to systematically measure and improve children’slearning outcomes.The availability of prePIRLS enables IEA to target the PIRLSassessment to each country’s situation to provide the best possiblemeasurement. Depending on a country’s educational developmentand the students’ reading level, countries can participate in either orboth PIRLS and prePIRLS to conduct the most effective assessment.The goal is to provide the best policy-relevant information abouthow to improve teaching and learning and help children becomeaccomplished and self-sufficient readers.Monitoring TrendsFrom its inception, PIRLS was designed to measure trends inreading literacy achievement. It is conducted every five years, andprevious PIRLS assessments took place in 2001 and 2006. The nextassessment after the 2011 assessment is planned for 2016. Many ofthe countries participating in PIRLS 2011 also participated in theprevious study cycles. These countries will have the opportunityto measure progress in reading achievement across three timepoints—2001, 2006, and 2011.overview of IEA’s PIRLS Assessment | 9
