Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to illustrate South African Grade 4 learner reading literacy achievement by utilising the preProgress in International Reading Literacy Study (prePIRLS) 2011 results. The paper aims to contribute to a fuller understanding of the learning deficits faced by these learners at the end of the Foundation Phase by showing achievement on a range of comprehension process skills from a selection of released reading passages from the prePIRLS 2011 assessment cycle.
