Abstract:	This report presents results of the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in reading at grades 4 and 8. Nationally representative samples of 213,100 fourth-graders and 168,200 eighth-graders participated in the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in reading. At each grade, students responded to questions designed to measure their reading comprehension across two types of texts: literary and informational. The results from the 2011 assessment are compared to those from previous years, showing how students' performance in reading has changed over time. Findings reveal: (1) Students' reading comprehension unchanged from 2009 at grade 4, and improves at grade 8; (2) Higher percentage of eighth-graders perform at or above "Proficient" than in 2009; and (3) Scores in 12 states higher than in 2009 at grade 4 or 8 and lower in 2 states. Appendix tables are included. (Contains 36 figures and 44 tables.)
