Reading, reading habits and reading on the web : Paper presented at the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Ghent, in September 2007

• Mid Sweden University has organised studies on reading skills among students Härnösand in Sweden in 2005 and 2006. These studies have included all students in grade 8 in the municipality. The studies have included a reading test and a questionnaire where the students have been asked to give information about themselves, their schooling and their motivation. Some of the questions have dealt with the students reading habits in general and the amount of time used for reading on the web. The data is analysed from the perspective of how students� reading habits and reading test results relate to each other. In particular is the relation between reading on the web and results on the reading test analysed. The data is also further used to analyse reading and reading habits from a perspective of gender, students� mother tongue and ethnical background.
