A very interesting post on Krashen's Blog discussing the Sullivan and Brown study. Some very interesting data on the impact of reading on poverty.
I have his book The Power of Reading 2nd Ed. (2004) and we are using it in my other class LIBR 233. Krashen is an expert in the area of literacy education and research. If you have a chance to see him present, he is amazing. He is doing a free workshop in Camarillo on September 25th at the Camarillo Public Library for those of you in my area. Krashen workshop info.

New evidence for the power of reading
The Sullivan and Brown Reading Study: New evidence for the power of reading, the effect of reading on poverty, and evidence for late intervention.
S. Krashen
As part of a large ongoing longitudinal study, Sullivan and Brown (2013) studied the performance of several thousand children in the UK on a variety of tests given when they were 16, and analyzed the effect of a number of predictors on their test scores using multivariate techniques.
