Many of you may know about the Center for the Study of Adult Literacy’s repository of web-based texts for adults who read at the 3rd through 7th grade levels (http://csal.gsu.edu/content/library), and if you don’t, I encourage you to check it out! I am also excited to share that now you can also find demographic, computer familiarity, and reading practices/attitude survey questions on our website. The questions in these surveys can come in handy when you want to ask participants questions about demographics, reading patterns, and/or computer use. The surveys that we have made available are ones that we have been using in our studies. The items are all taken from either in-house developed surveys or existing surveys (such as ALL, PISA, LSAL and PIAAC). Each item on each survey on our website gives you the exact reference from the specific survey.
