The study investigated the effect of early nutrition supplementation on children's reading ability and factors that augment reading skills in children at pupil, household and school level. The study followed up on children that were provided with early nutrition supplementation in varying levels of intensity with a standardised reading test that was levelled for children with an equivalent of two years of primary education to determine how the nutrition supplementation affected their ability to read. The study used a multi-level random effects regression to determine effects that were due to children exposure to school, household and individual factors. The variables that were key at each level of effect were determined through a Principal Component analysis, and later regressed to determine those variables that were key to their reading abilities. The study did not find statistical significance on household and school effects but child specific variables. The study found that intensity of nutrition that a pupil takes in early years affect their ability to acquire reading skills. This was augmented by the number of times a pupil practice reading and availability of textbooks to read, including well stocked and utilized libraries available in schools where pupils were enrolled.
