Reading comprehension in elementary school: updating teaching practices
In order to map the actual teaching practices in reading comprehension in the second and third cycles of elementary schooling, this research identified the objectives and educational practices of 413 teachers from various regions in Quebec. While the studies produced at the turn of the 21st century seemed to indicate that teachers referred to relatively traditional education practices less oriented toward the teaching of strategies, this research demonstrates that teachers reported working from objectives and educational practices associated with the role of teacher as model-reader and with the need to establish a teaching-learning context that is meaningful, reflective and strategic.
