Abstract

The paper focuses on environmental infl uences in the development of reading literacy
among primary school pupils. We build on data obtained through screening questionnaires for
family and teachers, which were created and verifi ed during the standardisation of the PorTex
test battery (Porozumění textu/Reading Comprehension, Kucharská et al., 2021) aimed at reading and reading comprehension assessment in Grade 1 - Grade 5 pupils. We believe that environmental factors can have an impact on the development of reading literacy and it is possible to use these environmental factors during interventions for pupils with specific learning diffi culties; they should therefore be included in diagnostics. In the following text, we will present the results of the experimental questionnaires created for the above-mentioned test battery, we will show the potential for using their outputs and how they relate to the pupils’ results in tests of reading, reading comprehension and language awareness. We will also discuss the potential of these questionnaires in diagnostic and counselling practice.
