The study was conducted using questionnaires and direct assessments of fourth-grade students. In the United States a total of 174 schools were sampled and 3,763 fourth-grade students were tested. The final weighted student response rate was 96 percent and the final weighted school response rate was 86 percent. The overall weighted response rate was 83 percent. Key statistics produced from PIRLS 2001 are how well fourth-grade students read, how students in one country compare with students in another country, how much fourth-grade students value and enjoy reading, and internationally, how the reading habits and attitudes of students vary.
