Project information

When children learn to read well, comprehend and critically evaluate texts, we give them indispensable tools for their educational careers and to get by in our literate society. In all types of education, however, there are concerns about pupils' reading skills. In particular, this concerns the ability to deeply process the content of a text. Much is known from research about the elements that can contribute to good reading instruction; however, this knowledge does not yet sufficiently reach the practice of education. In the educational research workshop on reading skills, we work together with all educational columns and professionals from other knowledge centres in the region. Based on scientific knowledge and with a research-based approach, participants work on improving reading education in their own educational practice to bridge the gap between science and practice. In addition, attention is paid to the continuous line between school types. The workshop runs for two school years. The first year started with exploration and analysis of one's own practice and the design and testing of an intervention. The second year is mainly devoted to implementation. The outcomes of the research workshop are shared with a wider audience through a website, social media and symposia. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
