The aim of this study was to determine the factors effecting the reading literacy of 15 year old age-group students in Turkey, within the context of the Programme for International Student's Achievment (PISA) 2009. The study involved 4996 students. To determine the factors effecting reading literacy, analysis based on sub-problems was conducted. In this analysis, firstly an exploratory factor analysis by questionnaire was conducted concerning questions relating to interest and learning strategies. Then the defined factors were analyzed based upon confirmatory factor analysis and, finally, linear regression analysis was conducted to establish the reading literacy explanation ratio of the defined factors. Based upon these results, a 7-factor stucture related to reading literacy was derived and confirmatory factor analysis of the 7-factored structure was confirmed. This defined 7-factor structure explained 59.71 percent of the total variation. As a result of multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that the determined variables identified the 14.1 portion of reading.

The Related Variables and the Reading Proficiency Level of Grade Six Pupils
Journal of Integrated Elementary Education, 2022
This study describes the relationship between the respondents' reading proficiency level as demonstrated in their Lexile Scores and the following variables: Respondent-related Factors, Teacher Factors, School Factors, and Home Factors. The Theory of Performance (ToP) by Don Elger served as the basis to develop the research instrument, i.e., survey questionnaire. Seventy (70) grade six pupils were authorized by a private school in the Philippines to become the respondents of the study. Correlated with the aforementioned factors were the pupils' reading Lexile Scores provided by Scholastic Philippines. The data were processed through the SPSS software using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient formula. Results revealed that among the four sets of factors, only Home Factors have a significant relationship with the Lexile Scores of the respondents. Furthermore, specific factors such as gender and mother's occupation relate with the pupils' reading proficiency level.

Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
The study examined the reading skills and academic performance of 65 Grade 7 students of Santa Maria National High School for school year 2022-2023. The quasi-experimental time series method technique was used in collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data. Checklists for the profile and questionnaire for the reading skills of the students were used as data gathering instrument of the study. Frequency and percentage were used in analyzing the profile and level of academic performance, mean and standard deviation for the level of reading skills and to find out the average academic performance, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H test, and Spearman Rank Correlation to find out the relationship between the students’ level of reading skills and academic performance. The mean score difference between pretest (M=2.17) and posttest (M=2.48) was 0.3, indicating developing reading skills. Furthermore, the study also revealed that the academic performance of the students was significantly related to their reading skills level. The results of this study saw the importance of reading as an important factor contributory to a student’s academic success. To address this problem, a school-based reading program that would enhance the students reading skills with special focus on the skill of generalizing has been deemed necessary to improve the reading skill level of the students.
