"Hjälper mig att förstår vad text handlar om" : en undersökning av två skolexterna läxläsningsverksamheter

This is a study of two school extern homework activities dedicated to helping students with their homework. The questions at issue are 1) how are the homework activities organized when it comes to financing, planning, marketing and implementation? 2) Who participates as staff as well as students and what are the requirements for participants? 3) What are the reasons for students to attend school external homework sessions? Material was gathered by a survey among the students at the activities and by interviews with principals for each activity. Two main findings are that the homework activities are almost exclusively visited by students with immigrant background and that the main reasons for participating are difficulties with the Swedish language, and parents not being able to help their children with homework. One conclusion is that this may explain the high rate of students with immigrant backgrounds. Another conclusion is that the homework activities cater for needs that according to the Swedish curriculum are supposed to be met by the schools.
