Abstract

Based on the Hannover Primary School Study, the significance of reading literacy for General Knowledge was established for 485 fourth-grade students, taking the domain of history as an example. Historical knowledge was ascertained as criterion. The data were analyzed using hierarchical linear modelling. Reading literacy predicts substantial amounts of variance of historical knowledge even when controlling for cognitive abilities. Furthermore the proportion of students with an immigrant background proved to be a significant context factor. The results suggest cumulative effects of reading literacy on the development of knowledge for primary-school-level already. Results are discussed in regard to the development of school competencies as well as to the development of a complex historical consciousness.
