In this project, we aimed to develop useful lessons for fostering reading literacy at the elementary school level. First, we collected and examined existing literature about reading instruction and activities. Further, we applied this research to develop our lessons. We considered the broad reading qualifications and abilities of students when shaping the lessons. Then, we conducted literature lessons for students in Grades 1-6, and examined the effect of these lessons on reading literacy. From the results, we were able to establish that it is important to clarify the goals that one aims at fostering in a lesson. This encourages students to apply independently formed attitudes toward reading and learning. Furthermore, it helps students to set up definite aims and to achieve specific outcomes in relation to reading and discussing books as well as encouraging the students to continue reading. In future, we plan to develop a reading program that considers the sequence and scope of students’ reading qualifications and abilities at each developmental stage.
