Replicating McQuillan\u2019s analysis of 1992 NAEP scores, access to books in school and public libraries was a significant predictor of 2007 fourth grade NAEP reading scores, as well as the difference between grade 4 and grade 8 2007 NAEP reading scores, suggesting that access is important for improvement after grade 4. Access (school\/classroom libraries) was a significant predictor of scores on the PIRLS test, a reading test given to fourth graders in 40 countries.<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Krashen,\u00a0University of Southern California Syying Lee,\u00a0National Taipei University Jeff.
