This framework instrument to help teachers to match the reading ability of students to the complexity of literary works. This aimed to improve the quality of literature education and help stimulate students to enjoy and appreciate literature. To develop such a European framework, it was important to examine the current literature curricula in secondary education in Europe.
This study focused on two questions:
