- Urban Second Graders' Attitudes toward Reading. Linek, Wayne M. And Others Correlation Grade 2 Informal Reading Inventories Primary Education Reading Achievement Reading Attitudes Reading Research Recreational Reading Sex Differences Urban Schools Urban Youth A study investigated second-grade urban students' attitudes toward reading and examined whether attitudes toward reading correlate with reading achievement and reading performance. Subjects, 42 male and 42 female students from 2 ethnically and racially diverse urban public elementary schools, were individually assessed on primer or preprimer passages using an informal reading inventory and were administered a standardized reading test and a reading attitude measure. Results indicated that: (1) the attitudes toward reading were positive but slipping in relation to recreational reading; and (2) there was a nonsignificant low correlation between total reading attitude and reading achievement. Results also showed that reading at the library appeared to be a truly positive experience especially for boys who were the slowest readers.
