Badanie opanowania umiejętności czytania przez uczniów klas czwartych szkoły podstawowej

The authors discuss the results of research carried out to present reading skills of pupils in the primary school. Taking into account theoretical background, used to prepare the research methodology, the most significant factors contributing to the reading process are analyzed. There are two dimensions of reading skills that are involved in the research: decoding and reading comprehension of the text. The range of decoding provides the assessment of reading speed (treated as a number of words read within one minute), correctness of reading (perceived as proportion of the read word in a correct way compared to all read words per minute), and a type of mistakes made by children during reading.
