Att läsa eller inte läsa - det är frågan : En studie om elevers tankar kring läsning av skönlitteratur

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study is to describe how pupils in fourth grade talk about their attitude of reading fictional narratives in school and on their spare time, their motives to read and how the school promotes fictional experiences.   The study is based on interviews with 18 pupils from the same class, divided in four groups. The interviews were analyzed from a literature reception theory.   The result shows that some pupils are very engaged in reading fictional narratives, while others more or less, are forced in to reading, because their teacher wants them to. All the interviewed pupils would like to read exciting, interesting books, but they feel that they don’t get the right support neither from their teacher, parents nor their friends. They describes that they don’t discuss the meaning of reading or things that the reader can read between the lines. One important conclusion that shows is that it’s important to choose literature that has a point of contact with the pupil and that the text is on the right level.
