The methodology involved bibliographical studies on the theory of intertextual Text and Reading (Bakhtin, 1979, Kristeva, 1969 and other theorists) in a qualitative study, which was based on Document Analysis (Ludke & André 1986; Gatti, 2005, and Gonsalves, 2005). Was used as the object of analysis, a textbook, selected by the researcher. Justified the present study because, although there are already many researches on the processes of teaching and learning of reading, there is a need also to evaluate the quality of the textbooks most recent (last five years) adopted by public schools of Elementary Education, by the fact that these books have been using often the theory of intertextuality for preparation of didactic sequences on reading. The results obtained, confirmed the initial hypothesis that, despite the current use of the theory of intertextuality by textbook authors, the activities proposed for them are not consistent with the theoretical announced, not leading thus to the formation of the critical reader. / A pesquisa, intitulada O Uso da Teoria da Intertextualidade no Livro Didático para O Ensino da Leitura , objetivou, de modo geral, identificar e analisar os usos da teoria citada nos modos de ensino e aprendizagem da leitura, propostos pelo Livro Didático da Educação Fundamental (Ciclo II, 6º ano). A metodologia envolveu estudos bibliográficos sobre a teoria intertextual do Texto e da Leitura (Bakhtin,1979, Kristeva, 1969 e outros teóricos) em uma pesquisa qualitativa, que se pautou na Análise Documental (Ludke & André, 1986; Gatti, 2005 e Gonsalves, 2005). Foi utilizado, como objeto de análise, um livro didático, selecionado pela pesquisadora. Justificou-se o presente estudo, pois, apesar de já existirem inúmeras pesquisas sobre os processos de ensino e aprendizagem da leitura, há necessidade, ainda, de se avaliar a qualidade dos livros didáticos mais recentes (dos últimos cinco anos) adotados pelas escolas públicas da Educação Fundamental, pelo fato de que estes livros vêm utilizando, com frequência, a teoria da Intertextualidade para elaboração das sequências didáticas sobre leitura. Como resultados obtidos, confirmou-se a hipótese inicial de que, apesar do aproveitamento atual da teoria da Intertextualidade pelos autores de livros didáticos, as atividades propostas por eles não condizem com os pressupostos teóricos anunciados, não levando, assim, à formação crítica do leitor.

Den här undersökningens syfte är att undersöka hur några lärare inom den svenska grundskolan, arbetar med språk-, läs- och skrivundervisning för att möta den mångfald som finns i ett klassrum samt deras uppfattning av hur det är att arbeta inkluderande i dessa verksamheter.   Som metod har kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer används. Teoretisk utgångspunkt är det sociokulturella perspektivet på lärande.    Resultaten visar att lärare jobbar med viss medvetenhet enligt olika metoder och strategier inom språk-, läs- och skrivundervisning där alla elever är inkludera. Studien visar även att kunskaper kring inkluderande metoder för läs- och skrivundervisning är större bland lärare som fått fortbildning. Det finns ett stort intresse bland lärare för att utveckla samarbete och kollegialt lärande samt sina undervisningspraktiker.   Fördelarna med inkluderande undervisningspraktiker är att elever ser och accepterar varandras olikheter och man är en tillgång för varandra i olika lärsituationer. Samtidigt menar man att det finns praktiska svårigheter som kräver kunskaper, stöd och resurser. / The aim of this study is to examine how some teachers in the Swedish Elementary School work with language-, reading- and writing to meet the diversity of students within the classroom and these teachers’ opinions about inclusion in these contexts.   The method used is qualitative, semi-structured interviews. Theory as a starting point is the socio-cultural perspektive on learning.   The results show that teachers work with certain awareness according to several different methods and strategies within the context of language-, reading- and writing, where all students are included. This study also shows that teachers taken part in further-education has a greater knowledge about inclusive reading and writing methods. There is a great interest among teachers to cooperate and develope their teaching practices.   The advantages with inclusive teaching practices are that students see and learn to accept each others differences and they are one another’s access in different learning situations. At the same time it is shown that there are practical difficulties that requires knowledge, support and resources.

I den svenska läroplanen beskrivs språk, lärande och identitetsutveckling vara nära sammankopplade med varandra. Genom att lärare skapar goda möjligheter för eleverna att samtala, läsa och skriva ges eleverna förutsättningar att utveckla sin kommunikation och därmed få ökat förtroende för sin språkliga förmåga (Skolverket, 2019, s.7).  Denna studie undersöker hur lärare förhåller sig till att implementera ett lekfullt arbetssätt i den språkutvecklande undervisningen. Studien syftar till att undersöka på vilket sätt och i vilken utsträckningen lärare använder lek som del av svenskundervisningen för att främja läsförståelseutvecklingen bland elever i grundskolans årskurs F-3. För att besvara syftet med studien har tre frågeställningar legat till grund, vilka är följande:  Vilken syn har lärare på lek som en del av läsförståelseundervisningen?  I vilken omfattning integrerar lärare lek i läsförståelseundervisningen?  På vilket sätt använder lärare lek som en del av undervisningen för att stödja elevers läsförståelseutveckling?  För att besvara studiens syftesfrågor har en kvalitativ gruppintervju och en enskild intervju genomförts med sex verksamma lärare i grundskolans årskurs F-3. Studien vilar på den sociokulturella teorin enligt vilken det sociala samspelet är avgörande för att lärande ska möjliggöras och teorin ”Learning by doing” som innebär att kunskap skapas genom erfarenhet och delaktighet i det sociala rummet. Resultatet av studien visar på vilka möjligheter lärarna beskriver att leken innebär för elever i undervisningssituationer. Resultatet synliggör även vilka medel de intervjuade lärarna använder och beskriver som gynnsamma i den lekfulla undervisningen. Vidare lyfter lärarna även vilka för- respektive nackdelar som finns med ett lekfullt lärandesätt samt hur de tänker och arbetar för att komma över situationer som utgör hinder i undervisningen. Resultatavsnittet följs upp av ett diskussionsavsnitt i vilket studiens resultat diskuteras med koppling till studiens syfte och tidigare forskning. / In the Swedish curriculum, language, learning and self-development are explained as closely linked together. Teaching that provides good opportunities for students to converse, read and write makes it possible for students to develop their communication and thereby gain increased confidence in their language skills (Skolverket, 2019, s.7). This study examines how teachers approach and implement playful activities as part of language development instruction. The study aims to examine in what way teachers use playful activities as part of the Swedish lesson to promote the development of reading comprehension among students in the preschool class and primary school grades 1-3. To fulfil the purpose of the study, the following three questions have been addressed:  How do teachers view the use of playful interactions as part of teaching reading comprehension?  To what extent do teachers integrate playful activities with teaching reading comprehension?  In what way do teachers use playful activities as part of teaching to support the development of students’ reading comprehension?  To fulfil the study's purpose and address the questions, a qualitative group interview, as well as an individual interview, was conducted with six active primary school teachers in preschool class and primary school grades 1-3. The study takes its starting point in the sociocultural theory, where social interaction is described as crucial for one to develop new knowledge, as well as the method “learning by doing”, where knowledge is seen as something an individual develops through experience and participation in a social context. The results of the study show the positive impact that playfulness has on students’ learning conditions. The results also indicate what tools and methods that teachers find most useful while incorporating play during the lessons. Furthermore, the teachers also highlight the advantages and the disadvantages of engaging in a playful way of teaching and how they work towards overcoming obstacles.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur lärare upplever de digitala verktygens intåg i skolan med avseende på läsundervisningen och på elevers läsförmåga. Den teori som är knuten till studien är, i relation till lärande och medierande verktyg, den sociokulturella teorin. Med hjälp av de digitala verktygen avses att, i enlighet med den proximala utvecklingszonen, stötta och vägleda eleverna framåt i sin utveckling. Den data som ligger till grund för studiens resultat har inhämtats via semistrukturerade intervjuer med verksamma lärare. Studiens resultat visar att de digitala verktygen kan skapa en variation i läsundervisningen som till följd av detta kan öka elevernas motivation för läsning. Resultatet påvisar även att lärarna som intervjuades, var oeniga vad gäller en försämring av elevers läsförmåga jämfört med tidigare. Det rådde dock en enighet beträffande elevers förminskade tålamod i fråga om att ta sig an större textmängder. / The aim of the study is to investigate how teachers perceive the digital tools' entry into the school regarding reading instruction and students' reading ability. The theory associated with the study is, in relation to learning and mediating tools, the sociocultural theory. Using the digital tools is intended, in accordance to the proximal development zone, to support and guide the students in their development. The data that form the basis for the study's results have been obtained through semi-structured interviews with active teachers. The study's results show that the digital tools can create a variation in reading instruction which, as a result, can increase students' motivation for reading. The result also shows that the teachers interviewed disagreed about a deterioration in pupils' reading ability compared to previous ones. There was, however, a consensus regarding the students' diminished patience regarding taking on larger amounts of text.

A plethora of studies in South Africa have examined the reading success of Grade 3 in the Foundation Phase in African Schools, but have investigated teachers’ perspectives on the methods used for reading instruction in Grade 1 of rural schools. This study is qualitative in nature and examined First Grade teachers’ methods used in teaching beginning reading in Setswana using different approaches: the Traditional method, Sentence method, Breakthrough to Setswana Programme and Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) approach. The researcher collected data from 8 Foundation Phase Schools in Bojanala District of Brits that are under the Department of Education (DOE). The sample was drawn from four Foundations Phase Schools from February to April and June to August 2011; four teachers were observed and interviewed on the teaching of beginning reading. In order to establish how the research was approached, observations, interviews and documents analysis were used as instruments. For purposes of this dissertation, the researcher also analyzed these four schools in detail in order to provide the context that informed reasons for teachers’ perspectives. The findings indicated that teachers felt differently about the use of different and same methods in teaching beginning reading. However, teachers did not always utilize their observations to improve teaching. Teachers’ beliefs about when to introduce children to the reading of extended texts differed depending on their assumptions on learning to read. Their perspectives were affected by their own knowledge of reading, the programs, methods, and the expectations of circuit and district administrators. Limited resources and space within the programs also affected their teaching of reading. All teachers in the study expressed the need for adequate training and in-service workshops that take into account the context in which they worked. This study, recommends more collaboration between teachers and local circuit and district administrators when, planning and delivering teaching approaches and workshops. Teachers and local administrators need to keep abreast with new developments in the fields of language and literacy development in order to effectively challenge and critique new approaches. Finally, they should also be supported in doing investigation on teaching and learning in their classrooms. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)

Previous research has shown that because remediation and support replace required and career-defining courses, exceptional students fall behind, ill equipped to act in society as autonomous adults. No Child Left Behind requires reading proficiency, so students failing standardized tests must take remedial courses. Individualized education plans often require support courses. However, there remains an important gap in the literature regarding the usefulness of reading, standardized testing, and leadership research to solve this problem. A class combining reading and support for students with exceptionalities exists at 1 high school. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the combined program to determine whether a specific program intended to meet federal and state performance-based standards affected test scores. This study used a single-group pretest-posttest design to analyze the 2007 and 2008 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test Reading scale scores of 25 of the 30 students with exceptionalities enrolled in the combined course to determine whether a significant difference existed between these test scores. The paired-sample t test identified a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, supporting the hypothesis that combining remediation and support increases progress. This study would be an important contribution to the existing literature by providing a viable solution to this problem by offering more opportunities for exceptional students to enroll in courses available to their mainstream peers. It also would enhance social change initiatives by facilitating the graduation and entry into productive adulthood of students with exceptionalities, allowing them to define career interests and remediate deficiencies simultaneously.

The diploma thesis deals with teaching elementary reading in our territory. The theoretical part focuses on reading from the past till present. It analyzes methods, that were taught in our territory during the past, and shows their benefits for current methods of teaching elementary reading. It also presents current methods of teaching reading and their methodology. The research part is focused on comparing analytical-synthesis method and genetic method of reading from the viewpoint of reading comprehension, accuracy, fluency and reading speed.

This study investigated the factors affecting the teaching of English reading skills in a second language of Grade 3 learners in three primary schools, in Ongwediva town of Oshana Regional Education Directorate in Northern Namibia. It also investigated methods and approaches that were used to promote the teaching of reading in English as a second language and the linguistic environment of the classroom in which the teaching of reading occurs. Classroom environments were observed and telephonic interview was conducted with the circuit inspector of the three schools selected. Individual interviews were also done with the principals, Grade 3 teachers and Grade 3 learners of the three chosen schools. Focus group interview was also done with the same Grade 3 teachers. This study found out that insufficient reading books, poor teaching methods, insufficient teachers’ and learners’ interactions and overcrowded classrooms were some of the factors that made the teaching of reading unsuccessful. From the interviews of the circuit inspector, principals and teachers it was revealed that inadequate teacher training workshops for teachers teaching English reading, lack of parental involvement, low budget allocation to Primary Education and lack of reading capacity in vernacular affected the teaching of reading negatively. The outcome of learners’ interviews indicated that phonemic awareness and lack of comprehension created reading problems. Given the factors referred above, it is recommended that more interesting readers should be purchased to solve the shortage of reading materials. In addition, more effective teachers’ workshops should be given to strengthen the teachers’ approaches to reading skills development for Grade 3 learners. / M. Ed.
