Abstract

This study investigated the long-term impact of the Home Literacy Environment (HLE) on Thai leisure reading rates using an adapted version of a questionnaire from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Though size effects are generally small, results from the responses of 475 university students at a college in the north of Thailand indicate that five of the key HLE parameters are significantly associated with respondents' present reading rates. The implications for Thailand's participation in the "information age" are discussed. © Common Ground, Nicholas Ferriman.
