Carsten Elbro – författare

Hur lär man barn att läsa? Att lära sig att läsa är en oerhört komplicerad process och den påverkas av såväl arv som miljö. Det är omöjligt att ta fram en universallösning på hur man lär barn att läsa av den enkla anledningen att någon sådan helt enkelt inte finns. I boken "Lära barn att läsa" har LegiLexi samlat specialskrivna texter av forskare och experter kring olika aspekter av läsning. Modellen The Simple View of Reading ligger till grund för dispositionen och innehållet. Utöver fakta, teorier och modeller förankrade i såväl svensk som internationell forskning ger boken även konkreta tips om hur du som lärare kan använda denna kunskap för att om möjligt än bättre anpassa din undervisning utifrån dina elevers unika behov. Boken är en antologi med texter skrivna av bland andra professor Carsten Elbro, professor Stefan Gustafson, legitimerad logoped och biträdande lektor Anna Eva Hallin, professor Martin Ingvar, docent Christer Jacobson och många fler. Den är producerad och utgiven av stiftelsen LegiLexi och riktar sig främst till lärare och andra personer som arbetar med barn och läsinlärning.

God läsförståelse är ett måste i de flesta ämnen i skolan. Den här boken ger grundläggande kunskaper om läsförståelse och en introduktion till dagens forskning i området.Författarna till boken presenterar viktiga färdigheter för textförståelse, och visar hur insikten om dessa färdigheter kan användas i undervisningen och ge goda möjligheter att utveckla läsförståelsen. Boken innehåller också praktiska övningar som gör det lätt att förstå vad färdigheterna innebär. Läsförståelse – insikt och undervisning vänder sig till blivande och yrkesverksamma lärare och förskollärare.

Hur kan du som lärare försäkra dig om att de metoder och aktiviteter du använder i din undervisning faktiskt håller god kvalitet? Hur ska du bedöma exempelvis artiklar, rapporter och kurser för att veta vilka resultat du kan lita på?

Med hjälp av den här boken får du grundläggande kunskap om hur du värderar och förstår forskningsresultatens bakomliggande statistik. På så vis kan du kritiskt granska anspråken på evidens och därmed utvärdera din egen undervisning.

Boken är skriven ur en lärares perspektiv, inte en statistikers. Exemplen handlar om undervisning och förklaringarna utgår från elever och klasser. På ett enkelt och lättillgängligt sätt förklaras centrala begrepp inom metod och statistik.

Utvärdera din undervisning är en grundbok i statistik och evidens för lärarstudenter såväl som praktiserande lärare.

The ultimate aim of reading is not the process but to understand what we read and comprehension can take place at many different levels. There has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of reading comprehension in recent years but despite this there is very little written on this vital topic accessible to trainee and practicing teachers. The Handbook of Reading Comprehension presents an overview of recent findings on reading comprehension and comprehension problems in children. It provides a detailed examination of the characteristics of children who have reading comprehension difficulties, and examines ways in which comprehension can be supported and improved. It is accessibly written for students and professionals with no previous background in the psychology of reading or reading problems. This indispensable handbook asks the question ‘what is comprehension?’ The authors consider comprehension of different units of language: understanding single words, sentences, and connected prose and outline what readers (and listeners) have to do to successfully understand an extended text. This book also considers comprehension for different purposes, in particular reading for pleasure and reading to learn and explores how reader characteristics such as interest and motivation can influence the comprehension process. Different skills contribute to successful reading comprehension. These include word reading ability, vocabulary knowledge, syntactic skills, memory, and discourse level skills such as the ability to make inferences, knowledge about text structure, and metacognitive skills. The authors discuss how each one contributes to the development of reading comprehension skill and how the development of these skills (or their precursors) in pre-readers, provides the foundation for reading comprehension development. Areas covered include:- Word reading and comprehension Development of comprehension skills Comprehension difficulties Assessment Teaching for improvementThroughout the text successful experimental and classroom based interventions will be highlighted, practical tips for teachers and summary boxes detailing key points and explaining technical terms will be included in each chapter
