Läsupplevelser hemifrån : En kvalitativ studie av åtta förstaklassares relation till läsning

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study is to investigate how children in grade 1 relate to and make use ofreading. The method used is qualitative interviews with eight seven-year-olds to elicittheir attitude to and experiences of reading. The results indicate a positive outlook onreading and a focus on reading in order to learn. The uses for reading that the childrenmention can mostly be connected to school. Children who have rich experiences ofreading aloud from home seem to prefer to choose fiction when they read forthemselves. Children who are not read to in the home, in contrast, tend to choose nonfictionbooks rather than fiction. Those who read aloud to family members at homewere found to have more favourite books than the others. Most children have readingrole-models in the home, which research has shown to be positive for their continuedreading development.
