Abstract

Eighteen inner-city first and second grade boys participated in a pilot study on the effect of sex of reading teacher on boys' attitudes toward and performance in reading. Each boy participated with either male or female research assistants in a 22-week Paired Reading intervention using texts shown to be of high interest to boys. Findings suggest that these contexts yield significant increases in boys' reading performance, sense of physiological well-being while reading, and their sense of reading progress regardless of the sex of their reading teacher. | Dix-huit gar9ons du centre-ville en premiere et deuxieme annee ont participe dans une etude pilote sur les effets du sexe du professeur de lecture sur les attitudes envers et la performance dans la lecture. Chaque gar^on a participe avec ou bien des assistants de recherche male ou femelle dans une intervention de "Paired Reading" de 22 semaines en utilisant des textes prouves d'etre fortement interessant aux gar9ons. La recherche suggere que ces contextes donnent des augmentations signifiantes dans la performance du gar9on dans sa lecture, le sens de bien-etre physiologique pendant la lecture, et un sens de progres dans la lecture peu importe le sexe de l'instmcteur de lecture.
