As part of getting to know our students and their attitudes in reading, we conducted a survey with questions provided by our RPI course. It delves into the thinking and attitudes of our learners in relation to what they like to read and their reading habits in and out of school.
My results weren't too surprising, and still provided great insight into reading habits outside of school, and the types of books my class likes to read. Below are some graphs to highlight some of the questions students answered.
To give some background on my students, although we are a year 7&8 class, my highest reader is currently reading at 9.5 years old. My lowest readers are at 5.6 years and I have a big chunk (10 students) reading at 8-8.5 years.
Here are some of my findings:
- Overall, students thought they were good at reading
- This translated to students saying they actually like reading at school (I was not expecting this)
- A high majority of students 70% do not like reading in their own time
- In terms of what their teachers think about their reading capabilities, the class was split 50/50
