Uppsatsen analyserar två barnböcker, varav en bilderbok Azzis flykt (2016) skriven av Sara Garland och en kapitelbok Flykten från Kabul (2016) skriven av Naheed Hasnat Senzai. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur flykt från krig gestaltas i två skönlitterära böcker samt hur lärare kan arbeta i klassrummet för att prata om och uppmärksamma eleverna om krig och flykt som är aktuella idag. Uppsatsen är en textanalys av böckerna Azzis flykt (2016) och Flykten från Kabul (2016) och en intervju med tre erfarna lärare på temat krig och flykt. Analysen visar att de intervjuade lärarna arbetar med temat främst när det har varit ett aktuellt ämne i medier. Lärarna tillämpar varierande verktyg i undervisningen, främst med hjälp av skönlitterära verk såsom bilderböcker och kapitelböcker. Illustrationerna i bilderböckerna har varit till hjälp för lärarna, speciellt när det uppstått hinder i kommunikationen med nyanlända elever. Analysen har även visat att elevers egna erfarenheter och upplevelser inkluderas och får komma till uttryck i klassrummet när temat flykt och krig tagits upp i undervisningen. Azzis flykt (2016) och Flykten från Kabul (2016) kan användas i undervisningen för att öka elevernas förståelse för flykt från krig. Genom boksamtal och högläsning kan empatin för människor som befinner sig på flykt främjas hos eleverna.

The aim of this study was to examine how a group of teachers in the same primary school work with fiction read-alouds in the Swedish teaching. The collected material was analysed by using Langer’s (2005) theory about imagination worlds. Two questions were then formulated to answer the purpose of the study: How do the teachers plan their fiction read-alouds in Swedish teaching? and How do the teachers describe the implementation of their read-alouds? The result shows that all of the teachers plan their fiction read-alouds with different types of preparation. This preparation includes: choosing the right book, which the teachers claim is dependent on several factors such as the students’ knowledge level or interests; reading the book before the read-aloud; and introducing the book in an interesting way during the read-aloud, which creates a pre-understanding of the content. Lastly, the teachers revealed that a large part of their planning work consists of creating post-reading tasks which are primarily aimed at developing students’ writing. The result also shows that the teachers have distinct rules for the implementation of their read-alouds. These rules help the teachers create favourable conditions for engaging students in the world of fiction. During read-alouds, the teachers embody the text through the use of their voices and body language. The importance of conversation during the read-aloud, with the primary purpose of helping students understand the content of the story, was also emphasized. The teachers also claim that conversation also gives their students a chance to think out loud and to reflect on the reading, thus gaining the opportunity to share each other’s thoughts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a modified system of least intrusive prompts on text-dependent listening comprehension for four middle-school-aged students with intellectual disability and autism during read-alouds of adapted grade-level biographies. A system of least intrusive prompts was modified by inserting a rule for answering questions and an opportunity to hear sections of the biography again. The procedure was evaluated via a multiple probe design across students. Outcomes indicate that all students improved listening comprehension after intervention and all students maintained high levels of correct responding 2 weeks after intervention. In addition, three students generalized skills to new biographies. The need for future research and implications for practice are discussed.
