Abstract

Reading is the key to building knowledge, and building knowledge in first grade is the key to creating a strong reader. Reading is an activity that engages many senses, gives the child information about the world around him, teaches him how to listen attentively, how to stay calm and how to focus on accomplishing a task. In most languages, reading is the basis of learning. The foundations of reading are built in early childhood. The aim of this study is to document the performance of early grade students in the field of reading. Aiming in the progress, improvement of teaching practice, as a methodology of this study I have used research in action. The research was carried out in five Primary and Lower Secondary Schools in Prizren, in the first, second and third grades, in coordination with the school principals, teachers and parents of the pupils involved in the research, where 200 students were tested during two different periods of time. Based on the results obtained from the conducted analysis of my research, I came to the conclusion that my research hypotheses were verified, since during the second test the students gave positive results and this showed that teachers are ready to seek more advanced practices that bring positive results to students.
