How to Help Students Comprehend Digital Texts

The key principles highlighted in this Teacher Snippet are connected to Volume 2 in the IEA Research for Educators series. The volume aims to empower teachers to integrate digital text reading into their curriculum, offering evidence-based, teaching principles for digital reading from PIRLS and its digital counterpart, ePIRLS along with teaching practices from participating countries.

PIRLS is recognized as the global standard for assessing trends in reading achievement in the fourth grade. Students are assessed on reading at a key transition stage in reading development: the change from learning to read, to reading to learn.

IEA offers a host of Teacher Snippets using data from IEA's TIMSS, PIRLS, ICILS, and ICCS. Discover the rest of this series.
