"The Krashen Studies Stepehen Krashen is one of the leading reading researchers and one of the most critical analysts of reading research. Both individually and with colleagues, he has studied the impact on academic achievement of school and public libraries as well as the availability of reading materials in the home. His studies show consistently that students who have access to more reading materials from all of these sources-and particularly materials on subjects that interest them-are more likely to read voluntarily, read in greater volume, read more often, and score better on achievement tests. Indeed, Krashen challenges head-on some of the most skeptical critics of studies linking school libraries and test scores."
