The purpose of this study was to investigate whether intensive reading with Wendick's (2015) reading lists in full-class make a measurable difference of the students reading speed and flow, compared to a control group. At the same time the study investigated the educators and students experience of the method. The study is a mixed method with a qualitative and a quantitative part. During four years, the reading speed was measured prior to four-week experiment periods with pupils in grade one at a school. The students in the experiment group read the reading lists every day at school in pairs. After four weeks, the reading speed was measured for both the experiment and the control group. The result was complemented with qualitative interviews of the educators and a selection of the students to take their experience into consideration regarding this way of educating. The result showed that the reading lists has a measurable difference on the reading speed and flow, and that the method operates in a satisfactory manner.
