A Longitudinal Investigation of Reading Attitude Development from Childhood to Adulthood.

Smith, M. Cecil

Journal of Educational Research, v83 n4 p215-19 Mar-Apr 1990

Findings from a longitudinal study which examined the stability of reading attitude from early childhood to the middle-adult years suggest that reading attitude is a stable construct over time, although early childhood measures of reading attitude are poor predictors of adult attitude. Young adult measures are the best predictors. (IAH)
