Since 1998, Ms Mendelovits has been engaged in work for the reading literacy component of the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) project, an international study of curricular and non-curricular performance of 15 year olds. She played a leading role in the development of the reading literacy instrument for PISA 2000 and is a co-author of Reading for Change: Performance and Engagement Across Countries (OECD, 2002).
