Abstract: This study investigated the impact of reading engagement on reading literacy of 15-year-olds students by employing two-level linear models from an international comparison perspective.Four countries/regions including Shanghai-China,Korea,Finland and United States were selected from the international PISA 2009 database,and the impact patterns of them were compared.The findings indicated that:(1)Students'reading engagement as a whole was in strong relationship with reading literacy performance under each of the four different cultural contexts. (2)Specifically,among the various variables which jointly defined the concept of reading engagement,reading enjoyment,control strategies,understanding and remembering metacognition strategies,summarizing metacognition strategies had positive effects on reading literacy,which showed a consistent impact patterns among the four countries/regions.However,the amount of reading time,diversity of reading materials,diversity of on line reading activities,reading for school variables,memorization strategies and elaboration strategies had different impact patterns on reading literacy among the four countries/regions.In addition,the study also discussed three ways to cultivate students'reading engagement:increasing personal reading time,increasing the diversity of reading texts and the guidance for effective learning strategies.
