The study was accomplished by interviews with 8 Swedish teachers in grades 1-2 and a questionnaire to 300 teachers in grades 1-3. The purpose was to examine teachers’ opportunities and obstacles for skillful reading and writing instruction. The dissertation was written in Swedish, with an English summary. Three articles have been accomplished upon this data material. I am proceeding with studies on teachers’ perspectives on children’s oral and written language development.
The title of my dissertation:
Alatalo, T. (2011). Skicklig läs- och skrivundervisning i åk 1-3: Om lärares möjligheter och hinder. [Proficient reading and writing instruction in grades 1-3: Teachers’ opportunities and obstacles] Academic dissertation. Göteborg. Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis.
