Improving decoding and reading comprehension skills in primary students through genre based pedagogy.

Abstract

This paper contains a Research Project which proposes a reflection on how to teach reading in English to primary schoolers in an EFL context, by implementing a specific and systematic method, where they are taught to read within the genre pedagogy cycle, using the literacy program “Learning to Read: Reading to Learn”,

The project was carried out with the mentoring of Kelly Fajardo, through a mixed method to compare the results of reading intervention in both an experimental group and a control group.
