Brist på högläsning i hemmet : En studie om skolans kompensatoriska uppdrag vad det gäller högläsning

Sammanfattning: Reading aloud is considered an important part of child development yet there are still many children who come to school with limited experience of being read to at home. Research has shown that a contributing factor as to why children have limited experience with reading aloud, linking it to their socio-economic background. In this study, I have therefore decided to investigate if teachers in primary schools feel that they need to have compulsory assignments to reduce disparities in terms of students' experiences of reading aloud at home and how they work to compensate for the lack of reading aloud. In this study, I used three semi-structured interviews where three respondents participated to create an understanding of the issues of this study. The study shows that all teachers read aloud for a series of different reasons. Respondents are well aware of the school's compensatory mission and feel that it is their duty to make up for the lack of reading aloud.
