Hur och varför f–3-lärare arbetar med Kiwimetoden : – särskilt i relation till elever med lässvårigheter.

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to describe how and why primary school teachers use the Kiwi method – especially in relation to reading difficulties. To answer this purpose, I conducted qualitative interviews with three primary school teachers. The interviews were transcribed since I made the estimation that they would provide with a more comprehensive material to the study that way. The result showed that the teachers did not make any differences in their teaching regardless whether they were planning for pupils with or without reading difficulties. Adjustments were made to all pupils, to meet all their special needs. They did so since the Kiwi method advocates meaningful teaching, where reading should be rewarding already from the beginning. The Kiwi method’s key stones are reading aloud, unified reading, guided reading and independent reading. All three of the teachers used these key stones in their teaching, but in different ways.
