The IEA's Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) [1] is an international study of reading (comprehension) achievement in 9-10 year olds. It has been conducted every five years since 2001 by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA).
In October 2020, APM Reports published a statement by The Teachers College of Reading and Writing Project discussing recent research findings that will lead to what TCRWP referred to as a "rebalancing" of their curriculum.
