Abstract The purpose of the study was to examine whether teacher's individualized support affects students' reading skills and interest in classrooms with different teaching styles. Groups of teachers with child-centered, mixed child-centered/teacher-directed, and child-dominated teaching styles were differentiated based on observed teaching practices. The participants were 552 children (273 boys) and their 21 homeroom teachers. Teaching practices were assessed in Grade 1, teacher individualized support and students' reading skills and interest in reading were assessed twice - at the end of Grades 1 and 2.The results showed that relations between individualized support and students' later r…
Rola rodziny i szkoły w procesie kształtowania postaw czytelniczych dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym
2018
Nowoczesne media, ze względu na prostotę sposobu informowania o świecie, stanowią dziś ogromną konkurencję dla treści przekazywanych drukiem. Ciągły i dynamiczny postęp w tym zakresie spowodował spadek zainteresowania książką w życiu i edukacji człowieka a wielu badaczy sygnalizuje, że o ile telewizja, radio, czy komputer towarzyszą człowiekowi codziennie, o tyle w przypadku lektury nie jest to już takie oczywiste. Taki stan rzeczy jest szczególnie niepokojący, jeżeli dotyczy dzieci. Człowiek nie rodzi się bowiem czytelnikiem, lecz staje się nim w procesie inkulturacji.

Externalizing behavior problems and interest in reading as predictors of later reading skills and educational aspirations
2017
This study examined the developments in children’s externalizing problems and interest in reading during their first four years of school (Grades 1–4) and investigated whether this development predicted the children’s Grade 6 reading skills and educational aspirations. Data comprised (1) teachers’ ratings of externalizing problems and children’s (N = 642; 43% girls) self-ratings of their interest in reading, collected between Grades 1 and 4, and (2) measures of reading fluency and comprehension, and children’s self-reports of educational aspirations, collected at Grade 6. First, latent growth modeling showed that a higher level of externalizing problems in Grade 1 was associated with a lowe…
Associations Between Reading Skills, Interest in Reading, and Teaching Practices in First Grade
2017
ABSTRACTThis study examined associations between classroom-level reading fluency, comprehension, interest in reading, and teaching practices. Participants were 466 children from 21 classrooms. Reading fluency and interest were assessed at the beginning and end of Grade 1, reading comprehension at the end of Grade 1. Teaching practices were observed with the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (ECCOM). Teachers were more likely to use teacher-directed methods in classrooms where children had poorer initial reading fluency. In classrooms with mostly child-centered methods, children showed better reading fluency, comprehension, and higher interest, whereas in classrooms with predomin…
