Reading aloud in the 0-6 system: the point of view of the Tuscan zonal coordinators in the 'Leggere: Forte!' project.

Abstract

The contribution presents qualitative research conducted in the context of the project "Leggere: forte! Aloud makes intelligence grow', a project created with the aim of spreading the practice of reading aloud shared in schools of all levels throughout the Tuscan territory. The objective was to collect, three years after the project's launch, the point of view of the Zonal Coordinators of the schools of the 0-6 system in the Tuscan region that have adhered to this educational policy. On a methodological level, 3 Focus Groups were conducted with the 18 Zonal Co-ordinators of the early childhood educational services in order to examine in depth some topics of interest (benefits observed in the territory; significant aspects, criticalities). The data collected and analysed through the triangulation offered numerous points for reflection for the development of future actions, with a view to the development of policies linked to the integrated 0-6 system.
