Jensen, Katheryn Christy, Melinda Krakow, Kevin John and Nicole Martins  a666-674  atext  aunmediated  avolume   v109(6)x0022-0671  aLeisure reading behavior is a key predictor of educational success. Transportability is a trait that determines how likely an individual is to become involved in a story, and past research has suggested that involvement may be related to leisure reading behavior. However, available measures of transportability have not been validated with children or related to leisure reading. To address this gap, children 9-13 years old (N=136) completed a revised version of the Transportability Scale. A 13-item version of the scale was found to be unidimensional, reliable, and predictive of 6% of the variance in leisure reading (above and beyond sex, age, reading ability, and student performance). Transportability was also related to genre preference and several interesting sex differences emerged. The Transportability Scale provides researches with a psychometrically sound measure of narrative involvement to advance research on leisure reading.   0aReading 0aEarly childhood education.  aChristy, Katheryn   aMartins, Nicole   aJohn, Kevin   aKrakow, Melinda
