¿Por qué leer bien es importante? Asociación del dominio lector con otros aprendizajes

Abstract

"Fundación Educacional Arauco (Fundar)" using data from the evaluation of programs and research, from different counties of Chile during the years 2001 to 2005, conducted a study of 1782 students from first to eight grade, to analize the association between Level of Reading Mastery and their performance in other areas of learning. The results of this study show a significant association between the students level of "Oral Reading Quality" and their performance in different skills such as reading comprehension, use of vocabulary and writing, the management of contents in Language, Mathematics, History and Science, as well as with their level self-esteem. It is interesting to share these results in order to enhance the importance of early development of the student's reading process, together with other skills, and to strengthen it until they reach full mastery. © 2008 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
